New Islandora Release for Q1 2011

The Islandora project announces an RC1 candidate for our Q1 2011 release

The Islandora team has been working hard on the 2011 roadmap, and the new RC1 is just the start. We are actually up to release 11.1.1, which is a bug release for the 1st 2011 release. We will be following suit with a new VM in the next few days, so stay tuned.

Back to Blogging Once Again

It has been a few months since my last blog posting...

While it sounds like a confession it feels much better. I had taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging, tweeting and various other social'ings, with lots of travel and way too much stuff going on, but it feels like it is time to get back to it.

One of the big new things for me is the creation of a UPEI spin-off company called DiscoveryGarden Inc., or DGI (pronounced "diji") as we like to call it. DGI is an open source service company centered around Islandora and we are having a great time helping to build a vibrant open source ecosystem. More on DGI coming up.

I am also still University Librarian at UPEI, so my usual focus on all things open source, research data stewardship, copyright and more will continue.
