Samvera's annual Connect conference was held on-line because of the COVID-19 pandemic. A design had been created in anticipation of t-shirts at a face-to-face conference but it was used, instead, as the conference logo. 'Souvenirs' bearing the design were available via an on-line shop.
Triangular sticker and hex sticker for Samvera's 'Valkyrie' gem based on an illustration from the 1910 edition of 'The Rhinegold & the Valkyrie' by Richard Wagner, illustrated by Arthur Rackham. The work is available as an e-book under Project Gutenberg as a work on which US copyright has expired.
At Samvera Connect 2019 there was a small number of presentations about ongoing work on Wings - "a Valkyrie adapter with data compatibility with Active Fedora" as part of the technology stack under the Hyrax gem. There were references to "Hyrax on Wings" and, almost inevitably, two related hex sticker designs emerged.
