Tip

Whenever possible, we always upload our presentation slides to our SlideShare account:

However, SlideShare no longer allows free downloads of slide decks without an account, so downloadable PDF copies of slides will be made available to community users here if and when they are available.

Looking Ahead: AtoM's governance, development, and future

  • First presented by Dan Gillean as part of AtoM Camp Cambridge, a three-day boot camp held at St John's College, Cambridge University, May 9-11, 2017
  • In this session, we looked at the history of the AtoM project, the current governance and maintenance model for AtoM that Artefactual Systems maintains, as well as several other open source business models and stakeholders as we consider ways in which governance and maintenance might look different in the future. Finally, we looked at the state of the application at present with an eye to the future - exploring how changes in international standards and web technologies provide an opportunity to consider what AtoM 3 might look like. The session was followed by open discussion.

Warning

These slides were last updated in May 2017, using the AtoM 2.4 Vagrant box, which is installed using Ubuntu 16.04. and PHP 7.0. Future versions of AtoM may use a different version of Ubuntu and PHP, which might change some of the command-line tasks used to update the box in Part 2. Be sure to check the AtoM documentation for the most up-to-date information:

The AtoM Vagrant box is designed for local testing and development - it is NOT PRODUCTION READY and should not be used for long-term data storage. Please see the AtoM documentation for instructions on how to install AtoM on a server for use in your institution.
