 Registration is now open for the First Annual Dataverse Community Meeting, which includes a pre-meeting Repository API workshop. The meeting will take place June 9-11, 2015 and will be hosted by the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University.

 The purpose of this meeting is to learn more about the different groups around the world using Dataverse, and to provide feedback to the [Dataverse Community Groups](http://community.dataverse.org/community-__groups/index.html) and the IQSS team on significant areas involving the Dataverse software application, with a focus on technical advice. The meeting will also serve as an opportunity to organize the newly formed [Dataverse Advisory Team](http://community.dataverse.org/advisory-__team.html) and [Community Groups](http://community.dataverse.org/community-__groups/index.html).

 This 3-day event will launch on June 9th with a pre-meeting Repository API workshop to work on community-based solutions to enhance the integration of data repositories with journals, followed by two days of Dataverse plenary and breakout Community Group sessions. These sessions will cover the following topics:
