For several years at the conference Open Repositories the repository rodeo took place. Every open repository software is represented by one panelist. Every panelist gives a short introduction in the software he/she represents. These presentations are followed by a discussion between panelists and attendees. These slides where used to represent DSpace in the repository rodeo at Open Repositories 2019.
