avalon community

We held our Avalon Forum for February on the 13th.  As always, we’re making the recording available via Avalon Media System.

We invite you to view the February Forum which covers the following:

• University of Houston and Avalon - Emily Vinson, Audiovisual Archivist
• Structural Metadata Editor - Jon Cameron, Dananji Withana - Indiana Univ./ Adam Arling - Northwestern Univ.

And, as always, I do a bit of housekeeping.

On January 15th, Avalon Community Manager, Ryan Steans, invited Avalon users, those curious about Avalon and beyond, to join in and think about Avalon not just as an open source resource, but as a community.

Join us on December 12th at 4:00, Eastern! (1:00 Pacific)

The Avalon Team invites you to join us for Office Hours every week on Tuesdays from August 28th to October 30th.  We're currently piloting a program to enable anyone with an interest in Samvera to spend some time with our team to discuss all things Avalon Media System.

For full information, click here.

Avalon is seeking your input to help us create Avalon Media System specific training.

You can tell us what areas would be of the most use for your team when it comes to training, and what works best for you in terms of delivery.  

Just fill out this brief survey to give us some ideas.  The survey should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete, and if you have additional ideas for what we could offer, we're all ears.

Avalon will host the second Avalon monthly forum on Wednesday, June 13^th at 4:00 Eastern.

Topics will include:  

• Northwestern University – Avalon for e-Reserves Media Distribution (Molly Zolnay and Natalie Pelster)
• Avalon and IIIF for Video (Adam Arling and Brian Keese)

The Forum will last approx.. 30 minutes.

In Spring 2018, The Avalon Team will begin work on Avalon 7.  As we move down this pathway, we want to invite you to join us, and help build a better Avalon!
