[UPDATE] DuraSpace Migration/ Upgrade Survey: Call for Participation

Our community is sharing their migration and upgrade stories.  Now let's
hear from you!

We captured 12 migration stories and have 11 more interviews pending.
Managers, librarians, application analysts/ engineers, and project managers
from the United States, Canada, the UK, and Switzerland talked about
migrations and upgrades involving almost a dozen software platforms. Our
aim is to share these vignettes widely to support community-wide efforts to
move data among platforms and versions of platforms to achieve access and
preservation goals.

Two groups requested access to an anonymized copy of the survey results
including the recently IMLS-funded Bridge2Hyku project (LG-70-17-0217-17
<https://www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/lg-70-17-0217-17>) at the University
of Houston. They’ll use the data to plan their upcoming project to build a
toolkit for institutions considering a migration to Hyku. The Digital
Preservation Coalition will receive an anonymized copy of the survey
results as well. Their members identified repository migration knowledge as
critical as they look ahead to planning and implementing migration
projects.

Of course, the results will also be used by DuraSpace and affiliate open
source communities to develop community resources to fill gaps identified
by survey participants. Results will also be reported at the DLF Forum on
October 23, 2017 in Pittsburgh, PA. I look forward to highlighting what we
can learn from each other to make migration and upgrade projects a more
positive experience in the future.

My goal is to conduct 30 interviews in the four-week period. I'm on track
to meeting that goal. If you’re interested in participating, email me at
etripp at duraspace.org. Or, if you prefer, you can also fill out the survey
online
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ncu1FJ2Py3PsOYImU42NB5E5AMmQxpkMNIVeOtEk004/edit>
by yourself.

The survey will close on Tuesday, October 17, 2017.  Please be in touch
with me to discuss any aspect of this initiative.
