Dear Colleagues,

Although OR2020 is postponed until May 31 – June 3rd 2021, we are happy to
invite you to join a series of free virtual meetings on June 1-4, 2020 that
will offer a brief update from the repository community and highlight
current discussions, innovations and recent advancements. We aim to create
space for learning and connection during the week that OR2020 would have
run. This will include one main session per day over Zoom for a duration of
~2 hours and a number of workshops . Presentations will be recorded and
uploaded to Zenodo Open Repositories community
<https://zenodo.org/communities/openrepos> and YouTube. Registration is
free!  And we will also have a series of conversation on Twitter using the
hashtag #OpenRepos2020.

We are pleased to announce that Kathleen Shearer, Executive Director of the
Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR), will present a Keynote on
June 1st at 3PM UTC titled: “*Reframing the conversation: applying the
principles of diversity, equity and inclusion to scholarly communications*”.
We hope you will join us for this engaging presentation and the discussion
to follow. Please see the program
<https://or2020.sun.ac.za/conference-programme/> for more details on
additional sessions and workshops.

The main meeting will take place on June 1-4, 2020 starting at 3PM UTC each
day. Sessions will be recorded for later viewing.

wish to attend. *Registration and a schedule may be found at *
