In 2018, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded DuraSpace a planning grant (LG-72-18-0204) to investigate the barriers that prevent hundreds of U.S. based libraries and archives from upgrading to a supported version of Fedora. Continued community reliance on the unsupported Fedora 3 puts the stability, security, accessibility, and functionality of these repositories at risk. The planning project revealed a pair of crucial themes: effort and value. Any software upgrade/migration requires effort (labor, time, and cost), so it must provide enough value to justify the cost. This insight has informed the design of Fedora 6. This version includes a commitment to developing tools, documentation, case studies, and defined paths that will provide resources to support a valuable upgrade process. This panel session will feature representatives from the project advisory board, Fedora 6 pilot program, and technical team who will present a summary of the report findings, discuss how community stakeholders are engaging with Fedora 6 development and lay out a roadmap for next steps based on the recommendations from the report.
