Reframing Open Source Repository Upgrades
Erin Tripp

The Fedora/Islandora/Samvera and DSpace communities are preparing for major software upgrades. This presentation aims to reframe upgrades as more than a painful and necessary process. The presentation will focus on upgrades as an opportunity to invest in skill, knowledge, and confidence building as well as stakeholder re-engagement.
