Updates:
Staffing: Dan Field is now a full-time employee of Lyrasis and is working eighty percent of his time on the Fedora project.
Fedora Showcase, Fall of 2024: Consisted of three half-days of programming. Had a strong agenda and excellent participation. There were170 registered attendees. During the days there was a peak of 70 attendees, but approximately 50 for any given session. Gret international representation. There was new and growing engagement and interest in Fedora from service providers.
Born digital now has six customers at Fedora 6.
Library Host attended and expressed interest in embarking on community involvement. Scientist.com attended and has Hyrax customers with Fedora 6 under the hood.
Some of the time was used to focus on documentation for Fedora 6 (focusing on the current version and for now deprioritizing documentation of earlier versions). Good progress was made during the event. And additional sessions are being planned.
Membership: This year Fedora has added two new international members. Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institute of Archaeology, (David Novák) at the bronze level this year moving to copper annually. While not yet formalized we are expecting the Slovenian Archives to join at the bronze level. They are eligible to play a role in governance.
In person meeting (with hybrid options) after CNI Fall 2024 (Washington D.C.) December 11th in the 9:00-12:30 window)
LYRASIS org home update:
Bridget Almas joined in May of 2024. One of her initial goals has been to do an intentional analysis of Lyrasis as an organizational home to projects. To explore among other things what is working, what might change, were we it might grow. The intent is to help Lyrasis provide a stronger program for partners who home with the organization. Another outcome is to signal support to program members, this not a side project it is a part of what Lyrasis provides. As part of this work Bridget has spoken with: program staff, program governance folks, and folks at Lyrasis who support programs (e.g. software, communications, etc).
Concrete outcomes: Bridget is working with Marketing and Communications about how to better articulate this part of the organization. Helping define and describe what are the core principles and value propositions? Working to quantify what is being provided. Endeavoring to be clear about expectations (both for Lyrasis and for the projects). Work is ongoing to gather and normalize that data and share with Lyrasis leadership. Lyrasis runs the organizational home at cost. Bridget will create a report. And then follow up with next steps. This far into her fact finding she is not foreseeing big changes, but there will be recommendations to make it better. One idea could be to tailor support for where a program may be in its lifecycle. E.g. creating an incubation model for nascent programs. There are additional opportunities to take better advantage of the five programs as a cohort, and that is also part of a future agenda.

*iPres Debrief Dan Field (Ghent, Belgium)
An unfortunate mixup left the Fedora migration workshop unattended.
Dan shifted to being a conference attendee. There were long term digital preservation conversations that were interesting. Dan met Lou Wang (?) from the National Science Library of The China Academy of Sciences. They are migrating to Fedora 6 and there was a productive interaction. Dan was able to meet the OCFL editors in person, which was nice. Andreas Kneff (formerly from Docuteam) was there from On the Record.
