Robertson Library is releasing the their Fedora-Drupal module Islandora as opensource. There is a Islandora project hosted by Fedora Commons here. The Islandora module allows Drupal users to view and manage digital objects stored in Fedora. There is a demo Amazon ec2 image running here http://ec2-75-101-195-219.compute-1.amazonaws.com/. The ami has both Drupal and Fedora installed.  The disk space available to for this image is limited.  If you use Amazon's EBS you could get upto a terabyte of space.  There is also a S3 adapter written for Fedora that could be used. If you have an Amazon AWS account you can launch your own version of the image. The public image name is ami-e9d23680. Once the image is started you will have to login to the newly created image using ssh and start Fedora. To start Fedora cd to /usr/local/fedora/tomcat/bin and type ./startup.sh. This will start Tomcat which will bring up the Fedora web application. You will then be able to use a browser to view your new ami instance by browsing to the ami's public DNS address. We have created a google group to act as a mailing list for the Islandora module.  You can send email here islandora@googlegroups.com or visit here http://groups.google.com/group/islandora.
