Hyku & Hyrax Community Developer Training Camp
October 7th - 10th, 2025, University of Pittsburgh
Join a cohort of up to 14 developers for 3.5 days of onsite training. You’ll learn together through hands-on activities, guided by participants' own needs and curiosity, with an up-to-date curriculum focused on preparing developers to contribute to Hyku and supporting codebases including Hyrax.

See the full event details and a high level syllabus on the Samvera Community Wiki.
Who should attend? This training opportunity is open to developers and programmers at any level, and with any amount of experience with Hyrax or Hyku. The only prerequisite is an existing familiarity with Ruby on Rails.
How to Attend
Fill out this form to secure a spot at the training camp. There are 11 seats available, and those who are interested but do not secure a seat will be put on the waitlist. Registration will be accepted in the order received, and a confirmation email will be sent within 1 business day.
There is no registration fee for this training opportunity. The costs for content development and revision, development environment creation, delivery from a professional onsite trainer, and three days of lunches are all being covered by contributions from both the Samvera Foundation (paid for through Samvera Partner annual dues) and the Sustaining Hyku community project.
In exchange, the Samvera Board is asking that each attendee’s institution commit to providing 80 hours (one two week sprint) of volunteer developer participation in Hyrax and/or Hyku community maintenance sprints in 2026. The goal of this commitment is to help attendees maintain their connection to the software and their cohort; apply what they learned to support community-maintained code; and jump-start further participation in Hyrax and Hyku community contributions from a greater variety of institutions who rely on Hyrax and Hyku community code.
