Hi All, As some of you may or may not have heard already, at OR10, DuraSpace will be making an official recommendation that DSpace & Fedora communities work towards better integration between DSpace and Fedora software platforms. More specifically, we are recommending further investigation into running DSpace "on top of" Fedora.
As a part of this proposal, DuraSpace is looking for community input, feedback, and potentially even volunteers to help investigate how best to integrate these two platforms. To begin generating discussion, DuraSpace has created an initial FAQ to introduce potential approaches to integrating DSpace with the Fedora platform. This FAQ details a proposed integration strategy, perceived benefits, and what a potential end result may look like. http://wiki.dspace.org/confluence/display/DSPACE/DSpace-Fedora+Integration+FAQ We'd appreciate your feedback/suggestions on both the FAQ & this recommendation in general. If you've been a part of this community for a while, you may recall this idea has been discussed off-and-on for years now. Here's an semi-grainy video from 2008 (rediscovered by Peter Dietz) talking about "DSpace/Fedora Collaboration" (scroll down to the second video on that page): http://crigshow.blogspot.com/ I'd encourage you to discuss this topic/idea openly on this 'dspace-devel' listserv (just respond to this email directly). Open discussion will benefit us all. Critical feedback & playing devil's advocate is completely welcome. But, also try to keep discussion productive. So, please add your thoughts/questions/concerns/ideas to this thread. Half thought out musings also welcome, as long as they are semi-productive in nature :) Thanks all!
