The easiest (free) way to get to the library is to use the Bull City Connector. It runs every 17 minutes (starting at 6:30am) and it stops about 2 blocks from the library (Research Dr at Circuit Dr). It also picks up at the Hilton Garden Inn - if you are staying there you can use this route to get to the library. . If you are staying elsewhere, just use Google Maps to find the nearest stop.
There is also a shuttle that goes from the Hilton Garden Inn to the library, but it only holds 8 people and we can't reserve it, so please be prepared to use the Bull City Connector (or another means) if the shuttles are full.
When
16-18 November 2015
Preparations
The workshop will include a hands-on section using a Fedora 4 virtual machine image, so please follow these instructions to get the VM up and running on your laptop.
NOTE: The VM uses 2GB of RAM, so you will need a laptop with at least 4GB of RAM to run it. Depending on your laptop manufacturer, you may also need to enable virtualization in the BIOS.
- Download and install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- Download and install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
- Download and unzip the 4.4.0 release of the Fedora 4 VM: https://github.com/fcrepo4-exts/fcrepo4-vagrant/archive/fcrepo4-vagrant-4.4.0.zip
- Using a Command Line Interface, navigate to the VM directory from step 3 and run the command: vagrant up
- Note that this step will take a while as the VM downloads and installs a full virtual environment
- Test the VM by opening your web browser and navigating to: http://localhost:8080/fcrepo
- The administrator username/password is fedoraAdmin/secret3
From the Bull City Connector stop, use this route to get to the library. Proceed downhill on Research Drive past Levine Science Research Center on your right. Take the walkway to the right just after the red brick Hudson Hall Engineering Building and the next walkway to the left at Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences/Twinnie's Cafe. Follow this up the stairs, across Telcom Drive, up the stairs, and enter Bostock Library on the left under the archway. The Edge Training Room is on the side of the library opposite the doors and to the left on the ground floor.
To avoid stairs, take Research Drive to Telcom Drive, take the first walkway to your left behind Bostock Library, turn right and right again to round the building. The door to Bostock will be on your right.
Parking
If you require parking at the library, please contact David Wilcox to reserve a space.
When
16-18 November 2015
Preparations
Virtual machine installation instructions will be posted once an updated version of the VM has been released. VMs will also be available on thumb drives at the camp.
