Dear Community,

A one-day Fedora 4 Training Workshop will be held on October 23, 2015 in
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The event coincides with the eResearch
Australasia Conference (http://conference.eresearch.edu.au) and will take
place in the same venue–the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The
workshop is being generously subsidized by the University of New South
Wales (UNSW, http://www.unsw.com) so the cost for attending is only
$80AUD. *Register

*About the Fedora 4 Training Workshop*
Fedora is a robust, modular, open source repository platform for the
management, preservation, and dissemination of digital content, including
research data. Fedora, the new, revitalized version of the software, was
released into production in November of 2014. Fedora 4 features include
vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data
support, modularity, ease of use, and more.

This Fedora 4 Training Workshop will provide an introduction to and
overview of Fedora 4, with a focus on migration and Fedora 4’s latest
features. After an initial review of the most significant new features,
participants will learn about how to migrate from earlier versions of
Fedora to Fedora 4. This will include a review and demonstration of
available migration tools, as well as a discussion on data modeling best
practices. There will also be a presentation on UNSW’s recently completed
Fedora 3 to 4 migration work.

Attendees will have the opportunity (in Section 4) to participate in a
hands-on session and explore Fedora 4 by following step-by-step
instructions using a preconfigured virtual machine environment. This will
give participants a chance to explore the new features and experience
Fedora 4 first-hand. Developers and administrators interested in working on
Fedora 4 will learn about the software development process and procedures,
including how to integrate Fedora 4 with external applications, such as
search platforms (e.g. Solr) and triplestores.

Two of the overall aims of the workshop are to encourage familiarity with
and uptake of Fedora 4 within the Australian repository community, and
bring Australian developers into the global Fedora community while raising
our profile in the research support arena.
