*Fedora User Group Meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany*

FIZ Karlsruhe

Friday, September 19, 2014

Karlsruhe, Germany

This Fedora User Group meeting will be held immediately following the PASIG
Meeting. All Fedora users, including anyone thinking about adopting Fedora,
are encouraged to attend. The meeting will include a mix of project updates
from the community and presentations on Fedora 4 from members of DuraSpace
and the Fedora Steering Group.

This is a community-driven event, so attendees are encouraged to give short
(5 minutes) or long (15-20 minutes) presentations on project updates, new
initiatives, or other topics of interest. This is a great opportunity to
find out what other community members are working on and engage with
potential collaborators. The agenda will be finalized over the next few
weeks based on community submissions and suggested topics.

Space is limited, so please register in advance to reserve your seat. Don't
forget to sign up for a presentation and suggest topics you'd like to
discuss or learn about.

*Fedora 4.0 Training at the DC Fedora User Group Meeting*

National Library of Medicine

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

Washington, DC

Following the DC Fedora User Group meeting, Fedora Product Manager David
Wilcox and Technical Lead Andrew Woods will deliver this full-day Fedora 4
training workshop. It is aimed at repository managers and developers; both
current Fedora implementers and those interested in adopting Fedora are
encouraged to attend. Attendees will learn how to get up and running with
the new version of Fedora, how to take advantage of  new features, and how
to plan for a migration from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4.

The workshop will include an overview of new features and improvements over
previous versions of Fedora, along with instructions on how to use some of
these new features. Planning migrations from Fedora 3 to Fedora 4 will also
be discussed, including new opportunities for data modelling, metadata
enhancement, and leveraging Linked Open Data capabilities. A detailed
agenda will be posted in the next few weeks.

Registration for the Fedora 4 training workshop and the DC Fedora User
Group meeting is open now. Space is limited, so register soon!

*Fedora 4 Training*

Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries

Thursday, October 16, 2014 from 9:00AM to 5:00PM (MDT)

Denver, CO

This full-day Fedora 4 training workshop, delivered by Fedora Technical
Lead Andrew Woods, will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn
about and discuss the features available in the upcoming Fedora 4
production release. It is aimed at repository managers and developers; both
current Fedora implementers and those interested in adopting Fedora are
encouraged to attend. The workshop will begin with a general overview of
Fedora 4, including new features and improvements over previous versions.
Andrew will also discuss the important topic of migration planning;
including new opportunities for data modelling, metadata enhancement, and
leveraging Linked Open Data capabilities.

Given the importance of popular Fedora integrations like Islandora and
Hydra, there will be an update on the work those communities are doing to
upgrade to Fedora 4. And while Andrew will lead the workshop, there will be
an opportunity for attendees to briefly demonstrate or present on any
projects they may be doing with Fedora 4. There will also be time for
attendees to suggest additional topics to be covered during the workshop.

Register [1] for free now! Attendance is limited so register soon to
reserve your seat.

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.
