Fedora Project Breakouts, Facilitated by Robin Ruggaber and the Fedora Steering Group
9:30 30 The Fedora 4 Pilot Projects Lead by David Wilcox
The production version of Fedora 4 launched in November of 2014. Many institutions are taking advantage of the new features and opportunities by upgrading their Fedora 3 repositories or starting new projects based on Fedora 4. This session will give representatives from these institutions an opportunity to discuss their current and planned Fedora 4 pilot projects.
10:30 30 Positioning Fedora for the Future Lead by Tom Cramer
Fedora 4 is increasingly moving toward adopting existing technologies and standards. By leveraging APIs and integrations rather than writing custom code, we can better position Fedora for the future. This session will feature a discussion on these technology goals, along with the emerging needs and use cases that we should have in mind as we look at Fedora 4.x development.
11:15 15 Sustainability Lead by Rob Cartalano
By broadening the funding base, increasing adoption, hiring a Product Manager and Technical Lead, and establishing a clear governance model, Fedora has made great strides towards becoming a sustainable community source project. But broad community engagement, particularly in the form of developer contributions, remains elusive. This session will feature a discussion on how to achieve long-term sustainability, with a focus on making the case for continuous participation.
DSpace Project Breakouts, Facilitated by David Lewis and the DSpace Steering Group
9:30 The DSpace UI(s) : – Can We Converge on a Single One? Lead by Tim Donohue
DSpace currently has two user interfaces. This is not optimal and a single user interface would be preferable. This session will focus on what the strategy should be to develop a single user interface using the best possible technology.
10:30 The DSpace Strategic Direction Lead by Jonathan Markow 11:15 DSpace Resources & How to Use Them Effectively
For the past two years the DSpace community has been working on a number of efforts to define the future direction of the DSpace software. This session will review these efforts and discuss the next steps in moving them forward.
11:15 DSpace Resources and How to Use Them Effectively Lead by David Lewis
The resource base for DSpace is different from the other DuraSpace projects. Unlike them DSpace has a significant international user and committer base. Most of the cash contributions come from North American universities and a large portion of the committers are European. The majority of the service providers are also European. This session will focus on how to most effectively leverage this resource base so as to effectively advance DSpace development.
