Hi all, Virtual Fedora Showcase starts tomorrow, and there is still time to register! Register today: https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/ZbSdTlRSRpqR9lYukmjyeQ Fedora is the open-source repository platform that libraries, archives, museums, and research institutions use to manage and preserve their digital collections. Each year, our global community gathers for Virtual Showcase to share what they are building, what they have learned, and where they are headed next. Whether you have used Fedora for years or are just curious about it, we would love to have you join us. What to expect: * An opening address on digital preservation. Neil Jefferies, Executive Director of the Open Preservation Foundation, opens the program tomorrow at 9:15am Eastern with “The 1000 Year Digital Archive,” a fitting start for anyone interested in the long-term future of digital collections. * User stories from around the world. A dozen community presentations on migrations and implementations, from the National Library of Wales, The Institute of Archaeology of the CAS, Prague, and the National Library of Medicine to Emory University, UNC-Chapel Hill, George Washington University, and more. * Digital preservation in practice. Hear how institutions are approaching long-term preservation, from large-scale migrations to preserving email and other complex digital objects. * Community updates and what’s ahead. Program and technical updates, partner updates from Samvera and PHAIDRA, an OCFL v2.0 update and feature scoping session, and a look at future work. * Fun along the way. There are always a few engagement opportunities built into the program. New to Fedora? Join us for the optional Newcomers Meet & Greet tomorrow, Tuesday, from 8:45 to 9:00am Eastern. It’s a relaxed chance to meet fellow community members before the program begins. No prior experience is needed. Event details: * Dates: October 13-15, 2026 * Time: 9:00am to 1:00pm Eastern each day * Location: Zoom * Cost: Free Join for one session or all three days. You only need to register once.
