A recording of a panel presentation at Samvera Connect 2018 described thus and In this panel we will briefly discuss the current landscape of needs and reasons for users to consider moving from an established repository, and the challenges facing users of a variety of platforms, both cultural and technological. We will also consider work currently underway such as "Bridge to Hyku", a grant-sponsored project empowering Content DM users to migrate, successes in DSpace-to-Samvera migration and what's on the horizon for BePress. In discussing these challenges, we hope to present the Samvera Community with an opportunity to grow the portfolio of users and create the potential for standards and teams to assist those who wish to be a part of the Samvera Community. A video recording of this session is available at the 'Related URL' below.
A presentation at Samvera Connect 2019, originally titled "Creating a Vision for Samvera", described thus and As Samvera had undergone a shift it its governance over the past 2 years, Samvera Steering wanted to ask Partners to contribute to the creation of a vision for Samvera’s future. The visioning exercise was conducted in April 2019 at the Samvera Partners meeting, involved over 30 community members, and was facilitated by Hannah Frost and Carolyn Caizzi. This presentation will update the community about the process used, the outputs of the exercise, and about any ongoing work to further hone the vision of Samvera’s future.
A workshop given at Samvera Connect 2018 described thus and If you are new to Samvera or considering adoption of Samvera products, this workshop is designed for you! Samvera is a community, a set of tools, and increasingly a collection of ready-to run applications to help build a digital repository for your institution. It is an open source and sustainable community. This workshop will provide an on-boarding and general entrée to the Samvera community for non coders. The workshop will begin with an overview of Samvera community and products– what is it, why is it different. It will showcase some applications that exist, and discuss the how the community at large works. The overview will be followed by a general technical overview designed for non-coders. The staff skills needed to maintain and contribute a Samvera solution will be discussed, resources that exist to get started, and how to contribute code to the community. The workshop will conclude with discussing how to pitch Samvera and get institutional support. It will discuss the advantages of being part of the community and how that strengthens the sustainability of the tools, the applications, and the community overall.
