Hey Everyone, If you work with digital repositories, digital preservation, or research data management, we would like to remind you that Virtual Fedora Showcase is taking place next week from October 13-15, 2026. It is completely free, and we are excited to announce that the full program is now available. Fedora is an open-source repository platform used by libraries, archives, museums, and research institutions around the world to manage and preserve digital collections. Each year, our global community gathers to share what they are building and learning, and this year's event features a dozen user presentations. The event opens with Neil Jefferies, from Oxford University and the Open Preservation Foundation, who will give the opening address - "The 1000 Year Digital Archive." It is a thoughtful starting point for anyone interested in what it takes to keep digital content accessible over the long term. Highlights include: * Real-world use cases from institutions such as the National Library of Wales, the National Library of Medicine, the Open University, UNC-Chapel Hill, Emory University, and Indiana University * Practical lessons on cloud-hosted repositories, large-scale migrations, and integrating repository systems with tools like ArchivesSpace * Preservation in practice, from preserving email at the Slovenian Public Archive to using RO-Crate to make archived records reusable outside the repository * A look at OCFL v2.0, the open specification for preservation-friendly file storage, with an update and open feature scoping session No prior Fedora experience is needed. Sessions run 9:00am to 1:00pm Eastern each day, and you are welcome to attend one session, one day, or all three. You only need to register once.
