| Emily Gore | University of Tennessee, Knoxville | Asst. Dean, Digital Initiatives & Technology Infrastructure | I have spent a large portion of my career being an advocate for open source, open GLAM, preservation and supporting the broad sharing of our collections. As co-chair of the Rights Statements working group, I worked to build an internationally-adopted de facto standard that promotes a common framework for expression of rights information for our digital collections, and I am still working to increase adoption as chair of the implementation task force. My work to build out the hubs network at the Digital Public Library of America connected me with many digital libraries across the country, and I had the chance to advocate for broad sharing of collections and preservation of collections. At Florida State as Associate Dean, I advocated for the adoption of Fedora and Islandora as a statewide platform that supported open standards. Now at UT, I continue to work with the same platforms. I am a current member of the Board of Directors for the Islandora Foundation and have previously served on the Lyrasis Board of Directors and as a founding member of the Open Access Network Board. I have a deep understanding of non-profits in cultural heritage, having worked at DPLA and DPN and having served on non-profit boards. Fedora has been and continues to be a leader among open source platforms in our field, and I have experience working with it as a platform and have admired the work of the community for numerous years. I would welcome the opportunity to serve as a member of Fedora Leaders. |
