Islandora is an extensible, modular, open source digital repository ecosystem focused on collaborative authorship, management, display, and preservation of digital content at scale. Islandora adheres to widely adopted best practices and open standards and frameworks used in information practice. Islandora's modules are community-developed, and generalized. Functionality is developed by Institutional programmers and service providers and contributed back to the project. The community, nurtured by the Foundation, pulls together to complete tasks of universal interest and build consensus on issues of architecture and feature development. Where the community lacks capacity for development, the Foundation undertakes targeted service and contractor arrangements funded by community membership in the Foundation.
Key Achievements
Islandora has made substantial improvements to its governance and software management model in recent years. On the software side, Islandora has released the "Starter Site" infrastructure that demonstrates the latest features (as hosted on sandbox.islandora.ca), as well as funded key upgrades to the docker infrastructure sustaining the project, including new features for configuring which images are important to you and managing upgrades. On the community side, Islandora has hosted annual conferences in 2022 and 2023, as well as a camp in 2023. Islandora has also founded a new Leadership group and started new membership models to recognize active community members and recognize contributors.
