*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.
*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.
