All users of Fedora, the open source, flexible and extensible digital repository platform, including anyone thinking about adopting Fedora, are encouraged to plan on attending. The meeting will be held at FIZ Karlsruhe ? Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure, and registration will be free. This will be an informal event that will give Fedora community members an opportunity to meet each other in person, discuss local projects and use cases, and find potential collaborators. Attendees are encouraged to give short (5 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) project updates. Members of DuraSpace and the Fedora Steering Group will also be present to provide an update on the latest Fedora 4 developments and discuss opportunities for engagement with the project. *Please indicate your interest in attending the Fedora User Group meeting* in Karlsruhe by contacting David Wilcox dwilcox at fedora-commons.org with a +1 (and any additional comments you may have). When it is clear there is sufficient interest in the event, we will send out additional details and registration information.

Archivematica , a preservation workflow tool designed by Artefactual , and DuraCloud , an archival cloud storage and preservation service from DuraSpace , are pleased to announce that they have teamed up to provide just that?an end-to-end open-source digital preservation solution based on Archivematica and DuraCloud that will set the standard for one-stop durable, safe, and cost effective long-term preservation and storage. "We are extremely enthusiastic about our new strategic partnership with Artefactual Systems,? said DuraSpace CEO Michele Kimpton. ?Artefactual are experts in archiving digital material and we are experts in managing open source projects and running software in cloud infrastructure. With our teams working together we can achieve a truly robust, open, easy to use digital archiving solution I think the community will be excited about." Archivematica and DuraCloud are unique among long-term preservation and storage solutions. They are both built on open-source software which is documented and freely available. Users can download their data at any point. This means that users of the new service do not have to worry about data lock-in and the service can be run locally at any time. AVPreserve has called DuraCloud ?unique among the services covered? in their Cloud Storage Vendor Profiles series [1] because users can download the entirety of data at any point and/or host the system locally without additional cost.[2] "The launch of an Archivematica DuraCloud hosted solution is a timely addition to the digital preservation community, offering a configurable preservation planning option at the intersection of OAIS-based workflows (Archivematica) and archival storage services (DuraCloud),? said Nancy McGovern, Director of DPM Workshops . ?When providers choose collaboration over competition, the gains to our community can be significant. A partnership like this that brings together open-source providers each with a solid track record promises to result in just that kind of benefit." Users of the service will have access to a robust suite of digital preservation functions via the online dashboard. Archivematica is well known for its ability to produce highly standardized and interoperable Archival Information Packages; these packages will automatically be placed into DuraCloud for long-term secure archival storage. Some of the key features of Archivematica include assigning permanent identifiers and checksums, virus checking, identifying and validating file formats, extracting technical metadata, normalizing files to preservation-friendly formats, and generating detailed PREMIS metadata to facilitate inter-repository data exchange. Key features of DuraCloud include automated health checking of the content, reporting, and the choice to store multiple copies at multiple storage providers. If your organization is interested in learning more about this offering please contact Michele Kimpton (mkimpton at duraspace.org) or Evelyn McLellan ( evelyn at artefactual.com), or complete the inquiry form at http://duracloud.org/archivematica About DuraSpace DuraCloud (http://duracloud.org) is a service from DuraSpace ( http://duraspace.org), an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization providing leadership and innovation for open technologies that promote durable, persistent access to digital data.

We are soliciting survey responses from information professionals at institutions which are migrating, have migrated, or will migrate to a new digital asset management system. The title of the survey is "Identifying Motivations for DAMS Migration: A Survey." For the purposes of this survey, a digital asset management system (DAMS) is software that supports the ingest, "description, tracking, discovery, retrieval, searching, and distribution of collections of digital objects [1]". Some examples of commonly used DAMS are: CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, DigiTool, Fedora, etc. Please note that this survey does not focus on systems used exclusively as institutional repositories, which we consider to be repositories that only provide access to the "intellectual output of an institution [2]". The results from our survey will possibly lead to a publication in a professional journal and/or presentations at relevant professional conferences. If your institution meets these parameters, we would appreciate your participation in this survey. The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and will not ask for or obtain any personally identifying information. You can access the survey here: https://uiuc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3aw56frpWbGLlgV If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us (information provided below). We look forward to seeing your responses and sharing the results of our research. Thank you.

Over the past year and a half, the Fedora community has come together to redesign and rebuild Fedora as a robust repository platform for the next decade. This new version of the software, Fedora 4 [2], introduces a number of sought-after features [3], including performance improvements, support for large files, and native linked data capabilities. The codebase has also been revitalized to take advantage of modern, best-practice coding standards, including rigorous testing and documentation. The first official release, Fedora 4.0, launched as a beta version [4] in June, and the full release will be available later this year.
