COAR Next Generation Repositories Principles https://ngr.coar-repositories.org/principles/

DSpace governance is based on a representative, community-based membership model incrementally rewarding members who have made the greatest commitments to the project. It consists of a Leadership Group, Steering Group, and Working Groups.

The first public version of DSpace was released in November 2002, as a joint effort between developers from MIT and HP Labs. Following the first user group meeting in March 2004, a group of interested institutions formed the DSpace Federation which determined the governance of future software development by adopting the Apache Foundation's community development model as well as establishing the DSpace Committer Group. In July 2007 as the DSpace user community grew larger, HP and MIT jointly formed the DSpace Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provided leadership and support. In May 2009 collaboration on related projects and growing synergies between the DSpace Foundation and the Fedora Commons organization led to the joining of the two organizations to pursue their common mission in a not-for-profit called DuraSpace. DuraSpace and Lyrasis merged in July 2019. Currently, the DSpace software and user community receives leadership and guidance from Lyrasis as the Organizational Home. The community work and maintenance of the software is lead by Governance and the DSpace working groups.

DSpace software is financially supported by the community: membership dues, certified partners and service providers, and various fundraising efforts. Current fundraising campaigns are the DSpace Development Fund (DDF) and the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS). More on each of these including goals and how to participate is available at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Announcement%3A+DSpace+Development+Fund and https://dspace.lyrasis.org/fundraising/ Membership dollars and representation are critical to DSpace. More info on benefits and impact of membership is available at: https://dspace.lyrasis.org/membership/.
