Fedora User's Conference

Sue Cornacchia and I are currently attending the Fedora User's Conference to investigate the potential of this software for Digital Asset Management at Wheaton College. As I suspected it might, Elated shows quite a bit of promise as a good basic way to start experimenting with Fedora. Developed by Eric Jansson and a team of programmers at the Associated Colleges of the South (ACS) last summer, Elated is meant to be an easy-to-use front-end to a Fedora digital repository, geared toward small liberal arts schools. Currently most interfaces to Fedora are usually only achievable by large universities with the budget and human resources to develop their own.
