Archivematica poster at IDCC 2010 & dev update
Peter Van Garderen
http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/conferences/6th-international-digital-curation-conference
It was a great program and a great mix of attendees (predominately from US and
UK). There were a few archivists but mostly research data curators and
digital/systems librarians.
I presented a poster and a 1-minute elevator pitch on Archivematica. A PDF of
the poster is available here:

The poster provides the most up to date, bird's eye view of the Archivematica
architecture. We are getting great feedback about the Archivematica project and
the technical design that is outlined in the poster.

In particular, the micro-services design pattern is getting a lot of buzz.

I also did a quick demo of the *brand-new* Archivematica Dashboard at CurateCamp
the day before the conference:

The Archivematica Dashboard will be officially unveiled as part of the 0.7-alpha
release which is scheduled for February 11, 2011. We have an interim development
release (0.6.2-alpha) this Friday which is primarily intended for pilot testing
feedback from Archivematica deployments at the City of Vancouver Archives and
IMF Archives (i.e we won't be packaging another virtual appliance until release
0.7-alpha). See http://archivematica.org/roadmap

If you can manage the time, I would love to see a videoed demo of the
new Dash even if the thing is in alpha. We're in the very early
process of looking into home-grown custom development to be done
around the basic Archivematica services with the addition of some
digital preservation admin functionality (hash checks, reports, etc.)
written into an easy-to-use GUI. It's all simply whiteboarded stuff
for us at this point, but the idea is that we'd like to avoid
duplicate effort if you folks are already heading down a similar dev
path.

I'm sorry, we are scrambling to get a long list of tasks completed before the
Christmas break so we don't really have time for a screencast of the Dashboard
right now. It's a great idea though and we'll try to make some time for that in
the new year.
In the meanwhile you can check out your own development version to review and
keep up with the latest release. Instructions are posted here:

The Dashboard will be going through some major development over the next couple
of months leading up to the February 11th 0.7-alpha release date. It sounds like
our requirements will be nearly identical to your admin GUI. Therefore, I would
strongly encourage you to dovetail your development with our Dashboard work. As
you note this will help us to avoid duplicate work and be a win-win for both our
projects.
I am going to be offline for a family holiday in a day but please post back to
this list and someone else from the project team will be happy to assist you if
you have any further questions.
Cheers,
