The Fedora Futures project is happy to announce the winners of the fedora4lib
Developer Challenge (http://fedora4lib.org/hack/), an event held at this year's
code4lib conference in Chicago to build software to extend and enhance our
prototype of Fedora 4.
Fedora Futures is community-driven effort to make major improvements to Fedora,
an open-source repository platform for the management, dissemination and
preservation of digital content. For more information about Fedora Futures,
see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FF/Fedora+Futures+Prospectus.
On February 11 and 12, the Fedora Futures team hosted two hackfests to
introduce our work thus far on the Fedora 4 prototype and developers were
challenged to implement to features and enhancements in the span of just 2.5
days.
First Place ($500.00 USD)
Fedora.FS by Stephen Eisenhauer
A filesystem driver built using FUSE which allows a user to mount a Fedora 4
