Adopters, stakeholders, devs and other blog readers!  Hello from Avalon!

 

It's been a while since we've posted new content, but much is in the works, and our team has been working diligently to bring you Avalon's 5th release.  We've had a meeting of the Advisory Board, some face to face meetings, made some changes to our roadmap, and have made some additions to our team.  (Look for more here in upcoming blog posts on all those important topics.) 

 

But we're also very excited to bring a new weekly blog feature to all of you: the Friday Round Up.  Inspired by ArtStor's blog, each Friday, we will bring you interesting news from around the time-based media world, things that should delight, excite or at least get you thinking about your own repositories and how best to build, display and preserve. 

 

So, without more explication, here is our

Friday Round Up for March 11, 2016:
