The Fedora Project is pleased to announce that the West Coast Fedora Camp will
be offered at the California Institute of Technology's Keck Institute for Space
Studies in Pasadena April 11-13, 2016.
Fedora 4, the new, revitalized version of Fedora, was released into production
in November 2014. Fedora 4 features include vast improvements in scalability,
linked data capabilities, research data support, modularity, ease of use and
more. Fedora Camp offers everyone a chance to dive in and learn all about
Fedora 4.
Training will begin with the basics and build toward more advanced concepts–no
prior Fedora 4 experience is required. Participants can expect to come away
with a deep dive Fedora 4 learning experience coupled with multiple
opportunities for applying hands-on techniques working with experienced
trainers and Fedora gurus.
This West Coast Fedora Camp is based on the inaugural Fedora Camp that was held
at Duke University in November ("Letter From Fedora Camp” [1]). 40 participants
shared ideas and worked together to better understand how to take advantage of
the Fedora open source repository platform. The curriculum led the group
through in-depth technical “deep dive” sessions as well as question and answer
discussions regarding features, migrations, data modeling, indexing for search
and discovery, extending Fedora, and more. The attendees' feedback was very
positive, and the organizers have used their input to enhance the camp
experience for developers and administrators alike.
Register online [2]. Attendance is limited to the first 40 registrants. Payment
is due upon registration. While an invoice option is available, please note
