Hello all,

A quick reminder about submitting demos or case studies to the upcoming IPRES workshop. It would be great to have a demo / case study on BitCurator in there and I know many of you have been doing great work extending and integrating the software environment in exciting and case study worthy ways. All are encouraged to submit!!!

----------------------
We are running a workshop called "Using Open-Source Tools to Fulfill Digital Preservation Requirements" to be held at this year's International Conference on Digital Preservation (iPRES) on Friday, November 6 in Chapel Hill, NC, USA.

The workshop offers a space to talk about open-source software for digital preservation, and the particular challenges of developing systems and integrating them into local environments and workflows. Topics will include current efforts and grant-funded initiatives to integrate different open source archival software tools; the development of workflows involving multiple open source tools for digital preservation, forensics, discovery and access; and the identification of gaps which may need filled by these or other tools.

Interested parties should submit a short summary (one page maximum) of a demonstration or case study they would like to present.  These contributions will serve as the basis for the tool demonstration and case study portions of the day.  The workshop organizers will serve as panelists during the third portion of the day and facilitators for break-out group discussions.

Please send your submissions to: oss4...@unc.edu by Friday, October 9.

You can also send any questions to the address above.

Submission will be reviewed to ensure relevant to the themes of the event.  If you would like to be considered for the workshop in time to register for iPRES at the early bird rate (before October 1), please make your submission as soon as possible, and we will do our best to review it quickly.

We hope to see you there.

Calling all BitCurator users!

Are you planning on attending iPRES 2015 in Chapel Hill?

Would you be interested in talking about how you are using BitCurator in your local workflows?

Then please consider submitting a proposal (this can be short) to the email address listed below. We know there are people out there that are doing great things with it that would be worthwhile to share with the international audience that will be in attendance at iPRES. So far there are already 73 people signed up for the workshop, so clearly people are eager to hear and learn more about open source tools. This will be a very valuable event and your participation would make it even better.

Thanks!
