Hi All,

We are thrilled to kick off the new year by inviting you to a hands-on, online training workshop - Introduction to Fedora 6.x. This FREE virtual workshop is perfect for those looking to explore Fedora's latest features, understand its role in digital preservation, and learn more about available migration tooling and community-developed integrations.

Details

Date: Tuesday, February 11, 2025

Time: 10:00 - 12:00 pm Eastern

Cost: FREE for all attendees

Registration Link: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/uK8_6B-hRuaPPPuvJ6NmzQ

Website Details: https://fedorarepository.org/introduction-to-fedora-workshop/

This workshop will feature:

A Fedora 6.x technical overview: Explore resource management, OCFL, and Fedora’s digital preservation capabilities.
Hands-on migration practice: Work through migrating a sample dataset using Fedora’s Migration Toolkit.
An introduction to integration strategies: Learn about community tools, like the Camel Toolbox, for integrating Fedora with your systems.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to:

Confidently manage resources and understand Fedora’s digital preservation features.
Utilize the Fedora Migration Tool Suite for migrations from Fedora 3 to 6.
Integrate Fedora with your ecosystem using tools like the Camel Toolbox.

While this workshop is geared toward an introductory level and understanding of CLI is not a requirement, a general understanding of the role, components and functionalities of a repository would be beneficial. Attendees will be provided access to an online sandbox via a URL which will be provided ahead of the workshop.

Feel free to share this invitation with colleagues and peers who may benefit from this workshop. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cheers,

Arran

Hi Everyone,

WOW! Way to kick off the year. We have had an outstanding response to our Intro to Fedora Workshop announcement. Due to a higher than anticipated response rate, we have had to make the hard decision to cap registration in order to ensure an optimal experience for all attendees. We want to be able to provide a great workshop environment, and as such we felt it necessary to limit the total number of allowable registrations.

If you have already registered, your spot is reserved, however there are extremely limited spaces left (less than 5).

If you are attempting to register and are unable too, we have created a waitlist which you can add yourself too here: https://forms.gle/rnmibUSTgxZKggEV8

The waitlist will operate on a first-come, first-served basis if/when we are able to move folks in.

If you have already registered, but are unable to attend, please let us know so that we can make space for anyone on the waitlist.

If there is enough interest, we will also consider hosting a second workshop, covering the same materials, for anyone unable to get in to this.

We thank you all for your enthusiasm for joining us for this workshop, and also for your understanding! This was a hard decision to make, but we now have a very good gauge of community interest and can adjust our future workshop plans to accommodate.
