Ithaca, NY At OR10, the Fifth Annual International Open Repositories Conference (July 6-9, 2010, Madrid), DuraSpace will recommend that the DSpace community begin to work more closely with the Fedora community to allow DSpace software to run “on top of” the Fedora platform. Essentially, this would mean that the DSpace application would have an option to install it with “Fedora Inside.”

Ithaca, NY  User Group Meetings are a highlight of the annual Open Repositories Conference and often feature breakthrough research results and views into rapidly emerging trends in repository implementations from around the globe. For the first time DSpace and Fedora user group sessions have been combined and scheduled into a single DuraSpace track in order to enable participants who want to attend parts of each user group session to more easily plan their time at this year’s OR10 Conference.
