Chris Awre | University of Hull | Head of Information Services | As a long-term adopter of Fedora (since 2005), and lead advocate for its use in the UK, I have championed the benefits of Fedora as a digital repository platform and supported those exploring its use for a variety of different purposes. I believe in the repository platform being considered as infrastructure rather than application, and seek to refresh how repositories are viewed institutionally to better establish them in this way. Fedora offers the only platform that enables this. I am also a founder member of the Hydra Project in 2008 and recognise the important link between Fedora and the services making use of it to exploit its capabilities as a key element of the future of Fedora. In continuing with a role on the Leadership Group I would look to better understand the specific needs of silver level supporters and represent these as part of the broad Fedora community of users. |

Andy Weidner | University of Houston Libraries | Metadata Services Coordinator | In my role as project manager for the Bayou City DAMS project, I am leading a multi-year, cross-departmental effort to implement a Fedora/Hydra repository for the University of Houston Libraries based on Hydra-in-a-Box (Hyku). As an active and founding member of the relatively new South Central States Fedora Users Group, I am excited about contributing to the Fedora community and championing its use in our region. If elected, I will work to represent the interests of new and potential Fedora adopters. |

Rosalyn Metz | Emory University Libraries | Director of Library Technology and Digital Strategies | I am the Director of Library Technology and Digital Strategies at Emory University in Atlanta. I lead a diverse cross-functional team at the university on a multi-year effort to implement a Fedora/Hydra based repository. Ultimately, we seek to preserve content for all of the libraries, archives, and museums on campus. I have been involved in digital repositories and digital preservation in various roles throughout my career -- in project, product, and service management, operations and infrastructure management, and through my work with DPN. Fedora's extensible architecture and support for linked data make it a key component of digital repositories and digital libraries. Therefore, I believe it is up to us, the cultural heritage institutions that support Fedora, to ensure its long-term stewardship and continued success well into the future. |
