| Chris Awre | University of Hull | Head of Information Management | I have Chris has worked with Fedora for over 10 years, and have has experienced its evolution over this time, working with colleagues at Hull to inform its development as we can. I have co-chaired with Richard Green and engaging with the community through Fedora Commons and subsequently DuraSpace to promote Fedora, particularly within the UK. Chris co-chairs the Fedora UK & Ireland user group over that time(in existence since 2006) with Richard Green, linking up with wider European Fedora usage where feasibleusers wherever possible. As a long-standing Hydra adopter, I am Chris is keen to ensure support the long-term viability sustainability of Fedora and its ability to serve different frameworks' needs such as Hydra's. The development of Fedora 4 has given all Fedora usage a new lease of life and promises much in the coming years. It will be important in the near-term to ensure that moves to Fedora 4 are managed in a way that brings current users on board as well as attract new ones. |
