----------------------
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.
