We are thrilled to officially open the Call for Proposals for Fedora Camp 2025, taking place at the University of Vienna! Join us this September for a relaunch of a Fedora community staple. Fedora Camp will involve three days of hands-on learning, collaboration, and connection in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.

Show Us What You’ve Got!
Whether you’re a long-time Fedora user or new to the community, we are inviting everyone to share your work and ideas to help make this event special. We’re looking for presentations, workshops, and lightning talks that showcase the flexibility and diversity of our global Fedora community of users.
Below, find some presentation ideas. Ideas do not need to fall into any of these categories specifically, they are simply suggestions!
- Implementation Show & Tell – Walk us through your collection, explore what technology you are using, and how you’ve built your system to meet your needs.
- Migration Stories – Share your Fedora migration successes, planning processes, and any lessons learned along the way.
- Unique Use Cases – Are you using Fedora in an unexpected or innovative way? Share your use case as a model for what others can do.
- Preservation Workflows – How does Fedora fit into your digital preservation strategy?
- Optimizing OCFL – As a foundational element of Fedora 6.x, OCFL offers many benefits for long-term preservation. How are you handling OCFL objects and why is this important to your institution?
- Intro to Your Repository – Take us on a guided tour of your institution’s Fedora implementation. Maybe it doesn’t seem exciting to you, but there is much to be learned by others who want to see what is possible.
We are also seeking proposals for hands-on learning opportunities.
Submit your proposal for a workshop. Workshops will provide attendees an opportunity to participate in hands-on learning, gaining valuable experience with digital repository technologies or workflows.
If you have an idea that doesn’t fit into one of these categories, let us know! We encourage creative, experimental, and in-progress ideas, too.
