Slides from a workshop given at Hydra Connect #2 described thus and Agile is based on self-organizing cross-functional teams addressing evolving requirements and delivering solutions incrementally. Adaptive planning and continuous improvement make Agile teams highly flexible and able to rapidly respond to change. Participants in this workshop will learn about the principles and benefits of Agile and will engage in core Agile activities that they can take back to their own teams.
In the UK, the Universities of York and Hull are looking at Archivematica's place in a research data pipeline. The two universities have slightly different use cases but share the desire to put research (and likely other) content through Archivematica on its way to the repository thus giving us a solid base for long-term preservation. We are both now in the third phase of a joint project to build proof-of-concepts to illustrate how Hydra and Archivematica can work together to manage and preserve research data. Since our project began, Jisc have launched an ambitious UK national research data shared service where a range of suppliers offer systems in different lots. Both Hydra / Fedora and Islandora / Fedora are part of the the ‘research repository’ lot of the service and the work of York and Hull has heavily informed the ‘preservation’ lot, with Archivematica one of the systems on offer. This presentation will describe the proof-of-concept work done by Hull and York, and will provide an overview of the new Jisc service. An audio recording of the session is available for download below. and A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus

electronic thesis and dissertation solution] are so new that few training resources are available. This document attempts to provide a resource for training staff in the technology skills necessary for implementing a digital repository. We list the technologies and the problem solving skills required to work effectively with each technology, along with a practical example of how each can be used in the creation and running of a repository., institutional repository, and This was the working document for a Hydra Curriculum circa 2010. Most of this content became part of the HydraCamp curriculum. Why a curriculum? In the effort to create digital repositories, libraries rarely have the luxury of hiring new staff who are both fluent in the necessary technology and cognizant of the particular concerns and responsibilities of libraries. The technology skills required for the implementation of a [digital library
A recording of Hydra Virtual Connect 2016. Follow th 'Related URL' below. Hydra Virtual Connect (HVC) is an opportunity for Hydra Project participants to gather online to touch base on the progress of community efforts at a roughly halfway point between face-to-face Hydra Connect meetings. Hydra is a growing, active community with many initiatives taking place across interest groups, working groups, local and collaborative development projects, and other efforts, and it can be difficult for community members to keep up with all of this activity on a regular basis. HVC will give the Hydra community a chance to come together to catch up on developments, make new connections, and re-energize itself towards Hydra Connect 2016 in Boston in October.

As a manager, one of the biggest challenges when starting any project (Hydra, or otherwise) is feeling comfortable that you’ve asked all the right questions before the first development hour is logged. But what are the right questions? And once you begin, how do you ensure that you, your developers and your stakeholders remain on the same page throughout the course of the engagement? This presentation will explore two processes that DCE employs to tackle these concerns, A partial audio recording of a presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus, and the Scoping Phase and the Inception Deck. We'll explore how these to practices work to consolidate project expectations and fend-off wild assumptions, helping you to feel confident that when everyone says ‘circle,’ no one is picturing a square.
A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus and Join us for a technical overview of the Hydra-in-a-Box hosted platform where we will detail how we're using Amazon cloud services and how we've evolved Hydra and Fedora to use them effectively. We will discuss how we've architected the traditional Hydra stack to be highly available, scalable, auto-deployed, and cloud friendly. This is an audio recording of the session.
