I'm particularly interested in this having co-presented around this topic in Hamburg with m'colleague Kevin Sanders (repository.uwl.ac.uk/id/eprint/5849/) and having managed OLE, the sort of proto-Folio, for many years. #RLUKDSFPermalink On Internet Archive

Kirstin Kemner-Heek discussing the wide range of hosting models available for Folio: cloud-hosting from a commercial provider, cloud-hosting from a public service provider, or local implementation.

Discussion in Q&A on institutional support of open-source and how procurement processes fail with open-source solutions. Soas struggled with this procurement issue a lot when the library acquired OLE and VuFind for its central library systems. #RLUKDSFPermalink On Internet Archive

As a Solutions Architect, I'm interested in the infrastructure around open-source solutions. At Glasgow, they have a local EPrints developer, a maintenance contract with an EPrints vendor, and support from their IT department for server support and hosting. #RLUKDSFOn Internet Archive
