Summer’s almost here! Welcome to the June edition of the Fedora Newsletter. This past month we were able to get on the road and see some familiar faces at Open Repositories in Denver, CO. We also met some new folks and want to welcome them with open arms to our community. Read on for more about what’s happening.

News Membership – Your support is valuable!

Fedora is an open-source, community-supported program funded entirely by membership contributions. As we move in to membership renewals for FY2022-23, we wanted to thank all of our financial sponsors who continue to actively support this vital piece of software, used by countless institutions across the globe. Your funding supports our staff who work to develop, teach, engage and support all active Fedora users. Without our members, we would not be able to support the preservation of the vital content contained within the repositories of our users. Find out how you can help.

Fedora at Open Repositories

For the first time in 2 years, Open Repositories was held in-person in Denver, CO and we were fortunate enough to be able to participate in a variety of ways at the conference. This was an exciting opportunity to be able to reconnect with our users, meet new faces and share Fedora 6.0 with attendees.

A special thanks to the following community members for supporting the program during the event:

• Jared Whiklo, University of Manitoba – Introduction to Fedora Workshop/Technical support
• Robin Ruggaber, University of Virginia -IMLS Grant Update Poster Session Participant
• Jon Dunn, Indiana University – Repository Rodeo Fedora Representative

It’s Official – Fedora 6.2 is ready to go!

This month we officially launched the most current version of the software – Fedora 6.2. It is available for downloading and use at: https://github.com/fcrepo/fcrepo/releases/tag/fcrepo-6.2.0

6.2 Features and Highlights:

• Newly added stats end point
  • View resources in your repository by things like mime type and byte count
• Asynchronous repository initialization
  • Rebuild operation outside of the web application initialization flow so that users can start up Fedora and query the API without having to wait for the rebuild operation to complete

All other release notes and details can be found on the fcrepo GitHub page here: https://github.com/fcrepo/fcrepo/compare/fcrepo-6.1.1…fcrepo-6.2.0
