- Fedora needs about a half million dollars per year to move forward toward rapid, cohesive development

- How does VIVO fit in? (Dean Krafft)
- VIVO has moved from being a grant-supported project into developing a model for sustainability.
- Large
- grant from NIH
- More than 100 institutions piloting VIVO software
- Signed on as a DuraSpace incubated project because:
- Wanted independent biz administration
- Wanted help with infrastructure (wiki, code repository)
- Looking for a model for sponsorship and project support
- There will be a tech coordinator/lead who will be hired through DuraSpace
- "VIVO fits into the DuraSpace mission because research institutions like Cornell need to know WHAT the university scholarly output is--that's
- the content that VIVO pulls together."
What are the interrelationships among our efforts?
