Sorry for the cross posting but I wanted to make sure that this event, and the existence of a Fedora users group for the DC, Maryland and Virginia region, was know to a wider audience. Hereafter, I will post info about the meeting to the google group mailing list. Anyone can join at http://groups.google.com/group/dc-fedora-users/.
We will have the next Fedora users meeting for the DC region on October 14th from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at: Room 207 Gelman Library George Washington University 2130 H St. NW Washington, DC 20052 Note that our hosts at GW would like for you to let them know if you are planning to attend by sending email to Karim Boughida at kbough...@gamil.com. The program is shaping up nicely, but I encourage everyone who is using Fedora to interesting things to present either a 15-20 minute session or a 5 minute lightning update about what you are doing or thinking about doing. This group is all about having all of us know who is doing what and looking for ways to make collaboration and sharing happen. Folks from both the Islandora and Hydra projects will present on the history and current state of those projects. They are both applications that are built on top of Fedora and provide ways to easily develop use-case specific systems. Both are open-source and have vendors who do development with them. Val Hollister will also give an update from DuraSpace. These institutions will be doing 15-20 minute presentations: Goddard Spaceflight Center National Technical Information Service Smithsonian Institution University of Virginia US Geological Survey So far we have one lightning update from the National Agricultural Library. I will send out a more formal program with presentation titles next week so please let me know if you would like to present. -- Thornton Staples Director of Research and Scientific Data Management Office of the CIO, Smithsonian Institution 202-679-7682 On 9/23/11 4:12 PM, "karim boughida" <kbough...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hi All, > >Thornton Staples, Director of Research and Scientific Data Management, >Office of the CIO, >Smithsonian Institution, has announced that the GWU (George Washington >University) will >host the next Fedora Users Meeting for the metro Washington DC region. > >The event is open to anyone who can make it.

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 _______________________________________________ Fedora-commons-users mailing list Fedora-commons-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fedora-commons-users
