It's older than Fedora Linux.

#23Wow. Java 11. Looks like a great project for an update. Anybody know where we can get a group of CS students to update the code with a modern toolset? Used to be MIT, Clarkson, Cornell, Berkeley, RIT, etc cranked this stuff out.
Total tangent from the OP, but neat to see RIT listed here (among some excellent universities)! What kind of things has RIT done like this? Just a curious alum.
They were big in software for the one laptop per child project:
https://www.rit.edu/news/rit-class-develops-applications-sup...
And, while not open source, built this: https://dirsig.cis.rit.edu/
Also, I remember some kind of early realtime music accompaniment software, the guy played trumpet and the software played realtime accompaniment.
Also, MIT built X11, which later turned into a bureaucratic exercise instead of software project.
Berkeley, well BSD Unix.
Early web projects came out of Michigan, like gopher.
Not much lately though.

Gopher came out of the U of Minnesota. Their teams are the “Golden Gophers.”

#25Do they have a separate website for a git repo, e.g. Github? Between me reading the page in bed this morning and then driving to work, the website seems to have gone down.
Their Github is https://github.com/fcrepo/fcrepo

#26To avoid misunderstandings, this repository is about a project at Cornell University named the Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (FEDORA), not a Red Hat one.
And they have Fedora Slack(ware)!

It's not RH/IBM, but you wouldn't know that because you didn't read anything about it.

From the website;
Name History
In 1997 a research project at Cornell University was named the Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture (FEDORA). In 1998, Payette and Lagoze published an article about their work referencing Fedora, and later that year software with the same name was released to the public.

Hello fellow RIT alum! :-D
