Hi those who collaborate with some issues can assist too? If don't have anything in my calendar for those days I would like going there, for spending the nights I won't have much problem as I have family in Terrassa

Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Aug 04 2025 at 08:10):Hi @Philipp Conzett!
We have not an address yet.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Nov 11 2025 at 07:53):Hi everyone,
We’re happy to share that the Dataverse Community Meeting 2026 will be held in Barcelona, 26–29 May 2026, hosted by BSC-CNS and Harvard University. :tada:
We’re now looking for sponsors and partners interested in supporting this key event for the global Dataverse and open science communities.
If your organisation might be interested, please reach out to us at dcm2026@bsc.es. We’ll be sharing a detailed sponsorship proposal soon.
:raised_hands: Thanks for spreading the word!

Asbjørn Skødt (Nov 11 2025 at 12:09):Hello, long time no see friends. We have a quick question regarding custom metadata blocks. These can be enabled for datasets, can they also be enabled for collections (sub dataverse metadata)? Our use case is we want to mark which collections/sub dataverses can have their metadata exported and shown as collections in other online repositories. Thank you, Asbjørn

Julian Gautier (Jan 14 2026 at 12:40):Heya @Felipe Gómez-Cortés. Just a heads up that I reposted this call to the Code 4 Lib mailing list.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Jan 15 2026 at 11:47):Great!
Thanks @Julian Gautier !!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 16 2026 at 15:35):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés will working groups have a chance to meet?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 23 2026 at 15:16):@Sonia Barbosa is on the organizing committee and said she'd report back on in-person meetings for working groups.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Jan 27 2026 at 08:53):Hi @Philip Durbin 🚀
To keep things consistent with the 2025 format at UNC, we have indeed reserved Tuesday, May 12th specifically for Satellite Meetings.
We’re excited to host these at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) installations! The main conference will then take place at the World Trade Center (WTC) from May 13th–15th.
You can see the location details here: https://dcm2026.com/general-information/. We’ll be sharing more specifics soon on how groups can coordinate their space at the BSC!
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Jan 27 2026 at 08:57):And speaking about the schedule...
:siren: ONLY 2 DAYS LEFT TO SUBMIT! :siren:
If you want to present a talk or poster during the main sessions at the World Trade Center, the deadline is fast approaching:
Deadline: 29 January 2026, 23:59 CET
Theme: AI, Interoperability, and Sensitive Data
Submit here: https://dcm2026.com/call-for-papers/
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 28 2026 at 15:20):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés so I talked to the three working groups I'm part of (Documentation, pyDataverse, and Containerization) and we'd each love to take you up on your offer of having a 1-hour working group meeting on Tuesday, May 12th at BSC. Since some of us (like me) are part of multiple working groups, it would be ideal if the groups don't meet at the same time.
Oliver Bertuch (Jan 28 2026 at 15:39):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés @Sonia Barbosa is there a reason why I can't submit my last two proposals and only save them as drafts?
image.png
Juan (Jan 28 2026 at 15:43):@Oliver Bertuch I suppose it is for this reason:
Oliver Bertuch (Jan 28 2026 at 15:44):Drat! I didn't see that!
Oliver Bertuch (Jan 28 2026 at 15:45):Thanks @Juan !
Bethany Seeger (Jan 28 2026 at 21:22):In filling out proposals.... is Affiliation meant to be the university I work for, and then Organization for the department I work in? Or do I have that reversed? Thanks!
Dieuwertje Bloemen (Jan 29 2026 at 08:44):I don't know who can update it, but I just noticed DCM26 isn't on the events overview page of the dataverse.org website: https://dataverse.org/events
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Jan 29 2026 at 11:57):Hi everyone!
We’ve heard from several community members who need just a bit more time to polish their proposals. To make sure everyone has a chance to share their work, we are extending the deadline!

Julian Gautier (Feb 13 2026 at 14:16):Hi @Felipe Gómez-Cortés After a working group leader has submitted their registration for the conference and included a list of people who will attend their working group's meeting on May 12, will other people who aren't on that list but who have registered for the conference be able to attend that working group meeting?
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Feb 13 2026 at 14:19):Let me ask María Ferrer and I will come back to you @Julian Gautier
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Feb 13 2026 at 15:29):@Julian Gautier Here's the answer:
According to BSC rules, the main contact must provide the full names and email addresses of all attendees by April 30th. Only guests on the official meeting guest list will be admitted.
Therefore, it's best to have the guest list with a few extra names to process your access cards, rather than trying to process your access at the last minute.
Julian Gautier (Feb 13 2026 at 15:35):Ah that's clear. Thanks! I'll let the working group leads know.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 13 2026 at 16:19):Hmm, it sounds like working group leads should start gathering a list of attendees pretty soon, if the list must be submitted at registration, which is already open.
Jan Range (Feb 13 2026 at 17:42):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés thanks for the info!
Julian Gautier (Feb 13 2026 at 17:56):Oh, I imagined that if leads wanted to add more names before April 30 but after they already registered, they could just email you Felipe or a colleague. Right?
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Feb 16 2026 at 10:58):Yes @Julian Gautier, we can append new attendees to the list in new mails before April 30th.
Laura Huis in 't Veld (Feb 16 2026 at 15:30):Hi @Felipe Gómez-Cortés Would you happen to know already at what time the programme will end on Friday? (We are looking at the flight schedules, and wonder if we would miss a lot taking an earlier flight back.)
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Feb 16 2026 at 17:01):Hi @Laura Huis in 't Veld, we don't have Friday's schedule yet. We will share the program once it is defined.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Feb 23 2026 at 11:41):Hi everyone!
Two big reasons to head over to the Registration Page this week:
Early Bird Ending: You have until February 28th to secure the reduced rate. Don't leave it for the last minute!
May 12th is Filling Up: Our Satellite Meetings (at the BSC) are taking shape! We have already confirmed sessions for:
Workshops: Kubernetes (K8s) and others.
Working Groups: Containerization, PyDataverse, and Documentation.
GDCC Meetings: The Steering Committee Meeting.
Program Reveal: We are putting the final touches on the schedule and expect to release the official program later this week! :calendar:
Want to host your own? The registration form is the primary mechanism to propose a new satellite meeting or joint brainstorm session. If you want to gather a group on May 12th, let us know through the form so we can coordinate the space!
See you in Barcelona! :rocket:
Rachel Fernandez (Feb 25 2026 at 22:50):Hola @Felipe Gómez-Cortés! I am planning on registering soon, but wanted to know if the registration will include any meals? I need to include this information in my institutional travel request. Thanks!

If you are interested in this years edition of the Kubernetes workshop (no plain Docker session this time, so we have more time for big stuff!), let us know in #containers > K8s Workshop DCM26
Last year the room was packed, so please don't destroy our (my) illusions about people being eager to learn about modern tech stacks!
Philipp Conzett (Feb 26 2026 at 09:52):@Oliver Bertuch Thanks for the heads-up! We have people at DataverseNO who are interested. Please allows us a couple of days to figure out how many we'll be. Thanks!
Philipp Conzett (Feb 26 2026 at 10:11):@Oliver Bertuch Could you share this information also in the Dataverse Communinty Google group? I think there is broad interest in this!

Rachel Fernandez (Mar 11 2026 at 18:35):I was able to get my registration in by the deadline and look forward to seeing everyone there!
Now to getting all my travel setup :airplane_arrival:
Any one have recommendations on which hotels to stay at? Recommended areas? :thinking:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 11 2026 at 18:37):Yay! Glad you're coming! I haven't clicked it yet, but there's a "book your accommodations" link at https://dcm2026.com/accommodation/
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 12 2026 at 20:06):After a very very very extensive search for the best room at an affordable price (OMG so many options!!!), I finally can say: I will stay in a nice AirBnB quite close to the venue. There are some others available at the same place, maybe go grab that now :smile:

There are so many options, but glad you found something! I think even just knowing what area would be good to stay at might be helpful.
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 13 2026 at 15:57):I had a PM exchange a while ago and got these recommendations:
I would suggest to be in a less touristic area, like Sants which is a less expensive area. It is very easy to reach the venue by metro L3 (green line).
https://maps.app.goo.gl/cnrEpvj1Bw8ZSvm96Or even better, something a the neighbourhood Gracia.
The L3 metro station is Fontana, Lesseps or Diagonal
https://maps.app.goo.gl/jssXBcbP2MEnNnWc9
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 13 2026 at 15:58):As I will be staying for a few days after the conference, I decided to go with something much closer to the venue. I can take the V11 bus at the front door of the venue or just walk. My Air BnB is within this area: https://maps.app.goo.gl/5gfqomGXAtx1nnEb6
So sight seeing after the conference is all doable in walking distances and I don't loose a lot of time commuting in and out of the city centre.
Oliver Bertuch (Mar 13 2026 at 16:00):I've also noticed that everyone and their cat is sharing the smallest broom closet as a room... It was hard to pick something that at least has a window to get some air!
Don Sizemore (Mar 14 2026 at 09:58):@Oliver Bertuch thank you for sharing this. beware I will only call the V11 the "Beyoncé Bus".
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 23 2026 at 20:19):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés when registering, there is no prefix country code for the United States (or I can't find it!):
It's ok, though. I'll just put +1 before my number, I guess.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Mar 25 2026 at 11:19):Hi Community!
Following up on our planning for the satellite sessions:
So far, we have officially registered the Documentation WG meeting. We now need the organizers for Containerization and pyDataverse to send over their proposals and, crucially, the list of in-person attendees. The Sensitive Data and Large Data groups are also very welcome to submit their proposals as soon as possible.
Regarding the logistics at the BSC:
Hybrid Setup: All meeting rooms at the BSC are equipped for hybrid sessions, so hosting remote participants is no problem.
Organizer Responsibility: It is the responsibility of each WG lead to bring their own laptop and any necessary adapters (screens generally use HDMI). You will also need to create and manage your own Zoom/meeting links for the virtual portion.
Security & Attendance: Important: We specifically need a separate, accurate list of in-person attendees for security and access control at the BSC. Please ensure this list does not include those attending only online.
Looking forward to getting these finalized!
Deirdre Kirmis (Mar 25 2026 at 20:24):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés I have a proposal for the Large Data Support working group and am in the process of gathering a list of attendees. When I have that, should I send that info to you, or update my registration for the satellite meeting?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 25 2026 at 20:34):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés I just registered and included a satellite meeting for the Containerization Working Group.

Hi @Deirdre Kirmis , you can submit the proposal with an initial list of attendees and update this list by the end of April. It is great that the Large Data Support WG will meet :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Great @Philip Durbin 🚀 ! Thanks for the thread. I am going to update the logistic team about these two satellite meetings.
Bethany Seeger (Mar 27 2026 at 14:00):Apologies if I missed this, but I would like to attend a pre-conference session or two, but I don't know what they are or how to sign up for them. If it's available, could someone share a schedule?
I was just reading above and perhaps it's all still being planned. Will there be a general call for participation once all set? I just don't want to miss out. :)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 27 2026 at 16:09):@Bethany Seeger for working groups, at least, I would suggest reaching out in these places to say that you'd like to attend:
Each group is responsible for giving an updated attendee list before the conference, by April 30th, I believe.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 27 2026 at 16:09):As for other satellite meetings, I don't believe there's a way to sign up yet. I assume it's coming.
Sonia Barbosa (Mar 27 2026 at 19:00):Hello Community:
I am looking for community members who work as data curators/repository managers to serve on a curation panel during the community meeting.
Please contact me if you plan to attend the community meeting so we can discuss -

Thomas van Erven (Apr 13 2026 at 12:30):I see everyone here booked early and prepared more extensively than me : ) I'm both glad for all those involved, and saddened by my decreased options now. Anyway. Asking the important questions - is the soccer match happening, and if so, Thursday or Friday?

Don't worry about being "late" to the party—the important thing is that you're coming!

:point_right: Register here: https://dcm2026.com/registration/
We’ve got a fantastic program lined up and we can't wait to see the whole community together in Barcelona next month! :castle:
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 20 2026 at 19:00):Anyone willing to bet if there will be enough kerosine available so we all can travel to Barcelona by mid May? Don't wanna jinx it, but a slight furrowed brow appears... Let's root for ourselves we can see each other!
Thomas van Erven (Apr 20 2026 at 19:21):I'll bet you a beer in Barcelona. And the very same worry crossed my mind
Oliver Bertuch (Apr 21 2026 at 10:43):Sounds like I could only loose with that bet - either I have to buy you a beer or we're not going :sad: "Gamble responsibly" :victory:
Thomas van Erven (Apr 21 2026 at 10:56):Oh surely I'd be buying the beer. I think we'll be largely fine - shortages expected end of May (so holiday season is in peril, but not the community meeting).
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (Apr 28 2026 at 15:21):Hi everyone!
Two important updates as we head into the final days of April:
1. Final Registration Deadline: April 30th :time_ticking: This is the absolute last call for late registrations! If you or your colleagues haven't signed up yet, please do so by Thursday to ensure we have you in the system for the BSC and WTC venues. :point_right: Register here: https://dcm2026.com/registration/
2. Featured Satellite Meetings :rocket: We have two fantastic proposals that dive deep into specialized topics. I’ve attached the full PDFs for you to check out:
"Can the Physical World Make AI more Trustworthy?" by Ben Lewis (Focus on Space, Time, and Metadata).
"From Data to Publication and Back" by Łukasz Opioła (Focus on connecting active research data workflows with repo-publication).
Action needed: If you are interested in participating in either of these, please contact the organizers directly (emails are in the PDFs) by May 3rd. We need to finalize the in-person access credentials for the BSC by May 5th, so please don't delay!

It's a good question. I saw it on earlier, tentative versions of the satellite (May 12th) schedule but perhaps it was never finalized.

Hi @Falco (Copenhagen University Library) and @Philip Durbin 🚀 !
To clarify, the "GDCC WG Data Curation" entry:
Falco (Copenhagen University Library) (May 05 2026 at 10:31):Yes, I saw that it was removed from the final program. Thank you for clarification.
Thomas van Erven (May 05 2026 at 12:58):Quick question - do I need to register separately to lose at soccer?
Julian Gautier (May 05 2026 at 13:30):Thomas van Erven said:
Quick question - do I need to register separately to lose at soccer?
Heya @Thomas van Erven. I got an email this week with a form for signing up for the social events, like soccer and the dinner and the tours.
And I think the only way you'd lose is if you're not on @Gustavo Durand's team :soccer:
Don Sizemore (May 05 2026 at 14:37):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés we welcome restaurant recommendations!
Oliver Bertuch (May 05 2026 at 18:28):I wanted to edit the HTML of the social events registration page to let me register as innocent bystander for the :football: cup :see_no_evil: :cocktail: As I now registered as participant, are the slots for corner posts all taken?
Thomas van Erven (May 05 2026 at 19:03):Good reminder - sorted it.

You can be the referee.
Oliver Bertuch (May 06 2026 at 10:31):@Thomas van Erven I was thinking more along these lines:
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (May 07 2026 at 09:39):Don Sizemore dijo:

Let me repare a list, I have to ask people to get representative options.
Don Sizemore (May 07 2026 at 20:10):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés a coworker's brother lives in Barcelona; she has forbidden me from seeking out Thai food (despite Lamai Thai which offers Thai Tapas)
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (May 08 2026 at 13:34):A Gastronomic Guide for DCM2026-BCN.
Rule # 1: Do not eat Paella @ La Rambla. It is a Tourist Trap.
Rule # 2: Do not eat @ La Rambla. Seriously, Tourist Trap.
Rule # 3: Tips in Spain are optional, not mandatory.
Rule # 4: We eat late!* Lunch is at 14:00, and dinner starts at 20:30.

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 08 2026 at 13:35):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés this map looks great! Thanks! :heart:
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 13:38):Thanks for putting this together! What a splendid idea!
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 16:52):@Felipe Gómez-Cortés any tips for public transport? As some/many will arrive early/stay longer, is there a good PT app to use? A ticket you'd recommend?
Thomas van Erven (May 08 2026 at 17:22):I was assuming to use the metro for nearly anything indeed, but happy to be corrected. Additional question - was there already a Whatsapp group or something messenger-like or do we stick with Zulip?
Oliver Bertuch (May 08 2026 at 17:39):I'm happy to create a Zulip private channel for the conference @Felipe Gómez-Cortés if that helps.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 08 2026 at 19:45):What happens in Barcelona stays in Barcelona :smile:
Oliver Bertuch (May 09 2026 at 19:24):Is it just me or is the dcm2026.com site currently a bit :snail:

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2026 at 06:24):It's been working hard! Extra traffic as the kickoff approaches! :rocket:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 10 2026 at 20:28):In previous years we had a spreadsheet that people could add themselves to to help find each other. I just created one for this year:

Please feel free to add yourself!

Julian Gautier (May 11 2026 at 10:49):Yeah @Philip Durbin 🚀 I'm planning to get a 1 day travel card today and a 5-day card tomorrow so it lasts through Saturday
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 11 2026 at 12:09):Cool, I just bought a 5 day at the airport, at the tourism desk near the exit. They said it activates the first time you use it.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 11 2026 at 12:10):This place is on the list: Norai Raval · Maritim Museum Restaurant. What do people think? https://maps.app.goo.gl/4vrpVz1HK2sPDaLo9 Late lunch in an hour or two? :smile:
Oliver Bertuch (May 11 2026 at 12:11):"When you use it" - how do you do that?
Oliver Bertuch (May 11 2026 at 12:11):I bought one but too but I don't see an option to remedy the voucher in the app...?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 11 2026 at 12:22):There's an app? Not sure. I guess I would suggest asking at the tourism desk. They were very nice.
Felipe Gómez-Cortés (May 11 2026 at 13:10):Hello there!
I am writing a quick guide to move in the city.
Ben Lewis (May 11 2026 at 13:32):Thanks @Felipe Gómez-Cortés ! This is super valuable as I'm right in the middle of La Rambla

Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 11 2026 at 15:21):@Oliver Bertuch sure! Just say where!
Oliver Bertuch (May 11 2026 at 15:22):Wouldn't it make sense to do this the other way? Y'all tell me where you're hanging out? Or did you split up already?

In previous years we had a spreadsheet to help people find each other. I just created one for this year:
DCM2026 people: how to find each other! (when arriving, where staying).
Please feel free to add yourself!
I just sorted this spreadsheet by departure date so it's easy to tell when people are leaving! :cry: :smile:

Felipe Gómez-Cortés (May 18 2026 at 12:07):Hi all, now that the data has settled and a well-deserved weekend of hibernation...
Thanks everyone for your participation and making DCM 2026 such an incredible event! :star_struck:
It was fantastic hosting you all in Barcelona. Safe travels to those still on the move, and see you next year for DCM 2027 in Leuven, Belgium!! :flag_belgium:
Oliver Bertuch (May 18 2026 at 15:36):Thanks for having us! All your hard work is much appreciated!

Thomas van Erven (May 21 2026 at 07:56):Quick question - do we have the slides somewhere from all participants? :D
Oliver Bertuch (May 21 2026 at 07:57):Not yet. AFAIK they will in time be added to OSF as publications. Your best bet for now: ask the presenter directly to share them with you.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 22 2026 at 14:30):Here's a crazy idea. What if people who gave talks link to their slides here?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 22 2026 at 14:32):Here are my Community Updates slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qMq21xtHtfGmnJfxQDjLZMc5Ufr4Hfx27IGi2RG4nDI/edit?usp=sharing
Oliver Bertuch (May 22 2026 at 15:04):Good Bye Barcelona! Flying out in 3h. :take_off: Looks like the last non-local participant is going home :slight_smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 23 2026 at 02:05):Just spotted this group photo on a LinkedIn post by @Brigita P. Vollstedt (DeiC)
