Fedora is designed, built, used, and supported by the community. An easy and important way that you can contribute to the effort is by helping resolve outstanding bugs. If you have an interest in gaining a better understanding of the Fedora code base, or a specific interest in any of these bugs, please add a comment to a ticket and we can work together to move your interest forward.

Membership

Fedora is funded entirely through the contributions of DuraSpace members that allocate their annual funding to Fedora. The 2016 membership campaign concluded with $564,750 in funding and 74 members. The 2017 membership campaign kicked off in May, and so far the Fedora project has raised $449,750 from 55 members. The annual goal this year is $580,000, so we are over 75% of the way there. We will continue to coordinate with members of the Fedora Leadership Group to expand the pool of DuraSpace members supporting the Fedora project and build a sustainable funding base for the future. If your institution is not yet a member of DuraSpace in support of Fedora, please join us!

Upgrades

We would like to thank Rutgers University for upgrading their annual membership from Bronze to Silver and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for upgrading their annual membership from Silver to Gold in support of Fedora this year. For more information on membership and benefits please see the DuraSpace website.

Fedora and Samvera Camp UK

DuraSpace and Data Curation Experts are pleased to invite you to attend the Fedora and Samvera (formerly Hydra) Camp at Oxford University, Sept 4 - 8, 2017. The camp will be hosted by Oxford University and is supported by Jisc. Previous Fedora Camps include the inaugural camp held at Duke University, the West Coast camp at CalTech, and the most recent, NYC camp held at Columbia University. Hydra Camps have been held throughout the US and in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.  Most recently, DCE hosted the inaugural Advanced Hydra Camp focusing on advanced Hydra developer skills. The camp curriculum has been published on the wiki.

API-X

The API Extension Architecture was featured several times at Open Repositories, including the Fedora workshop, and a presentation during the Fedora Interest Group track. Additionally, Aaron Birkland and Conal Tuohy won first prize at the Ideas Challenge for an idea that combines API-X and a web service system to produce a scripting environment for repositories. Congratulations, Aaron and Conal!
