DuraSpace and Data Curation Experts invite you to attend Fedora and Samvera Camp at Oxford University.
Fedora is the robust, modular, open source repository platform for the management and dissemination of digital content. Fedora 4, the latest production version of Fedora, features vast improvements in scalability, linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and more.
Samvera (previously known as Hydra) is a repository solution that is being used by institutions worldwide to provide access to their digital content (see map). Samvera provides a versatile and feature rich environment for end-users and repository administrators alike.
Training will begin with the basics and build toward more advanced concepts–no prior Fedora or Samvera experience is required. Participants can expect to come away with a deep dive Fedora and Samvera learning experience coupled with multiple opportunities for applying hands-on techniques working with experienced trainers from both communities.
Previous Fedora Camps include the inaugural camp held at Duke University, the West Coast camp at CalTech, and the most recent, NYC camp held at Columbia University. Samvera Camps (previously known as Hydra Camps) have been held throughout the US and in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Most recently, DCE hosted the inaugural Advanced Samvera (Hydra) Camp focusing on advanced Samvera developer skills.

- Core & Integrated features
