Fedora project community members are on the road all over the world this fall–from Germany, Switzerland, and all over the US you can touch base face-to-face with team members in multiple locations. See "Where We'll Be" below. Activities include training and opportunities to learn more about the growing Fedora community of users and developers. 

We are pleased to announce that Fedora Camp in NYC, hosted by Columbia University Libraries, will be offered at Columbia University’s Butler Library in New York City November 28-30, 2016. Training will begin with the basics and build toward more advanced concepts–no prior Fedora 4 experience is required. Participants can expect to come away with a deep dive Fedora 4 learning experience coupled with multiple opportunities for applying hands-on techniques working with experienced trainers and Fedora gurus. Register today [2] and join us in New York!

The Fedora community is continuing work towards establishing a clearly defined specification for the core Fedora services that will benefit members who are integrating unique functionality using Fedora. This specification will detail the exact services and interactions required for a server implementation to be verified as "doing Fedora".  You are invited to comment on and contribute to the draft specifications.(David Wilcox please edit/add and list any fedora-related events you or other staff will attend below "Where We'll Be")
One of the design goals of Fedora is to simplify the process of both getting your resources into and out of Fedora in a standardized way. This enables the reuse of Fedora resources in other contexts, such as exporting to a separate preservation system, as well as provides a pathway for migrating across Fedora installations. Please see the planning page for details if you are interested and available to participate in this effort.

DSPACE

Now that summer holidays are coming to a close work continues toward the public release of DSpace 6.0 due later this month. Thanks to those members who have pitched in to test release candidates and identify areas of improvement over the last two months.
