Re: REMINDER: Fedora Migration Toolkit Draft - Now Available!
Arran Griffith
Hi Everyone!
As we reach mid-July I wanted to take another opportunity to provide you all with access to the Draft Migration Toolkit created as part of the IMLS grant-funded Fedora Migration Paths & Tools Pilot Project. This is the first draft of the toolkit, which contains migration instructions, templates, metadata remediation guides and user stories compiled from both Pilot Partners.
We are seeking the community’s input and feedback on the content before we finalize it for broader community distribution. Please take the time to go through the draft and leave your comments so we can review them or email me with any comments at arran.g...@lyrasis.org. Additional details about the toolkit and review process can be found in attached email thread. I am asking that all feedback is submitted before July 29th, 2022 so we can begin the next steps.
You can access the Draft Toolkit here: DRAFT- Migration Toolkit
Thank you in advance for your support and help on this process. We are excited to be reaching the finish line of this work.
Cheers,
Arran

Hi Everyone,
In case you hadn’t seen it, last week I shared with you the first draft of the Migration Toolkit created as a result of the IMLS Grant-funded Fedora Migration Paths & Tools Pilot Project. We are asking your help in reviewing the toolkit and providing feedback and comments before we finalize it for community-wide use.
You can access the Draft Toolkit here: DRAFT- Migration Toolkit
The below email outlines how to access the Toolkit and how to review and leave comments. We are asking that all comments and feedback is entered before July 29th, 2022. This will give the Pilot Partners and Fedora team the appropriate time to finalize any changes before official release.
Thank you in advance for participating in this essential step in completing the final stages of the Grant. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am more than happy to help!
Enjoy the rest of your week and I look forward to seeing the feedback.
Cheers,
Arran

Subject: Fedora Migration Toolkit Draft - Now Available!
Hi Everyone,
The
day is finally here! After 2 long years, and countless hours of hard work from countless individuals, I am writing on behalf of the Fedora Community alongside the IMLS Grant Pilot Partners, University of Virginia and Whitman College, to share with you the
first draft of the IMLS Grant funded – Fedora Migration Paths & Tools Migration Toolkit.
DRAFT- Migration Toolkit
This toolkit contains all of the necessary details, instructions and templates to aid and assist in migrations from Fedora 3 to the newest version of the software released in June 2021 – Fedora 6.0. Through the collaboration of both pilot partner institutions, and input from Born Digital and the Fedora community, we are proud to present this toolkit as an instructional document intended to provide insight into the process of migration from those who have successfully done so.
We have shared use cases, lessons learned as well as templates and processes with the goal of lowering barriers to migration.
What we need from you:
We are asking for your help in reviewing the Toolkit content. We are looking for is for institutions and teams to thoroughly review the document, test out the processes and procedures, and provide feedback. All of the documents are currently being shared via Google Docs, and commenting should be open, so you can simply leave your feedback directly in the document for review. Once all the feedback has been collected, the Pilot Partners will convene to review the changes before officially releasing this to the public.
While this Toolkit is intended for those institutions running instances of Fedora 3, we will gladly accept any and all feedback from other institutions. Please do not feel as though your comments are not relevant or important!
We are asking that all comments be entered by JULY 29, 2022.
Special thanks goes out to the following for all of their hard work seeing this process through to completion:
- Danny Bernstein
- Amy Blau
- Dana Bronson
- Mike Durbin
- Kun Lin
- Steve Majewski
- Paige Morfitt
- Ben Murphy
- Robin Ruggaber
- Noah Smith
- Alan Stanley

Thank you in advance for helping us to complete this process. We are excited to be finally completing this grant work and making all these resources available for the community. This work will significantly impact Fedora users at all levels and we hope that we can continue to work toward lowering all barriers to migration.
Please feel free to reach out to myself, Arran Griffith (arran.g...@lyrasis.org), Amy Blau at Whitman College (bla...@whitman.edu) or Robin Ruggaber at the University of Virginia (robin.r...@virginia.edu) for any questions or comments. We look forward to compiling all this feedback.
