Indiana University and Northwestern University, in collaboration with nine partner institutions, recently completed the last year of a three-year IMLS-funded effort to build the Avalon Media System, an open source solution for managing and providing access to digital audio and video collections, based on Fedora and the Hydra repository software development framework. As the Avalon platform reaches maturity, several institutions are in the process of implementing Avalon both to replace current time-based media access solutions and to support new use cases. In addition, new funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will support continued work to develop new features, grow and provide support for the community of adopters, and move Avalon towards organizational and financial sustainability. This panel will bring together project leaders from Indiana and Northwestern, along with Avalon community members at the University of Virginia and Stanford University, to share experiences of implementing Avalon at their institutions, integrating Avalon with other local systems, and supporting Avalon to enable a variety of use cases in research, teaching, and learning. Panel members will also discuss future development plans and provide a preview of how the project intends to transition from a grant-supported endeavor to a community-sustained solution. and Slides for a panel presentation given at the Open Repositories conference in 2015 held in Indianapolis described thus

In the last few years, as the Hydra partnership has grown to encompass twenty-five institutions, management of services for Hydra heads in production has become a topic of recurring interest and concern. What are the basic goals and requirements for successful service management of Hydra-based technologies? What roles need to be in place? How should user services be fostered and assessed? This panel session, conducted by three service managers from three different institutions, will address some common approaches to inform the start of a community toolbox for service management of a production Hydra head. and A panel session at Hydra Connect #2 described thus
