Agenda/Presentations

With the recent release of Fedora 5.0, the theme of this Fedora user's group meeting is to discuss the current and upcoming versions of Fedora, and how best to meet institutional needs.  The format of this meeting will be a series of presentations, updates, and/or discussions, followed by a hackathon with the goal of producing code, design, or documentation.

• Institutional updates

Day 2 - Hackathon

The structure of the hackathon is TBD and will be determined by a discussion at the end of the first day, based on shared interests, experience, and practical consideration.  The goal at the end of the first day will be to produce a concrete set of tasks for individuals or teams to accomplish on the second day.  Possible topics include the following; please add additional topics.

• Whiteboarding how a particular use case would be handled in OCFL (continuation of December 2018 hack-a-thon).
