Dear DSpace Community,
 
The DSpace Committers are delighted to announce a new member to the team: Nicholas Woodward from Texas Digital Library (TDL). Please join us in welcoming him!
 
Nicholas is a Senior Software Engineer at Texas Digital Library (TDL). In this role, he leads the deployment, management, and software development for more than two dozen DSpace repositories. Nicholas has 15+ years of experience working in the open-source digital library community, primarily as a software engineer and project manager.

Since 2022, he has worked with the DSpace community on bug fixes and performance improvements that are impactful for repository administrators in the TDL consortium. Prior to working at TDL, Nicholas worked at the Library of Congress where he developed software to manage the workflow for large-scale web archiving. He also has experience using open-source tools for machine learning on large text corpus.
 
We are always on the lookout for new developers, contributors, and committers within the DSpace community.
 
Contributions can take many forms: writing code, reviewing or testing others' code, helping on mailing lists, editing documentation, or improving the theme/usability/accessibility of our user interface. For more information, see our guide to contributing to DSpace:
