The call for papers for the Open Research Devroom is open. Please check the requirements and see if anyone of you would like to do a presentation on a topic. Of course, we can discuss at PHAIDRAcon the coming week.

Would this be ok as proposal?

Title

The remaking of PHAIDRA

Abstract

PHAIDRA, the Fedora-based digital preservation repository developed since more than 15 years at the University of Vienna and used by more than 20 institutions has recently reached important technological milestones as well as became easier to setup than ever before. Given the number of open source repository offerings, PHAIDRA is choosing to double down on usability for Humanities, Arts, Cultural Heritage and, as a community, to explore what OA/Open Academia means for these areas…

Description

We’d like to

  • present our current architecture, which is based on docker (we’re working on k8s version too)
  • give an overview of the tech stack and frontend and backend features
  • show a few usage examples (OA, OER, theses, media libraries, research data, digital archives…)
  • describe the component-based implementation of our RDF metadata scheme
  • share our experience with migration from Fedora 3 to Fedora 6 (backend repository)

Thanks Rasta - this looks really good.

My only comments are:

“…completely open to the community:”
Followed by a repo that is a mirror - albeit with a friendly note welcoming contributions.

  • Just seems strange - wonder if we can just make the link look better.

  • Might be good to include “renewed focus” in the changes:

Just some ideas - its good as is.

Great idea, thanks! Check out the edited version.

Can you give me a PHAIDRA pitch for the githubs about page? (we can remove the mention of the mirror, etc, it’s not important)

Hi Rasta,

With Rory’s comments included, we should be good to go. As today is the deadline, I would submit it :wink:
