SCAPE & OPF Events: Preserving Your Preservation Tools 26-27 March & Managing Digital Preservation 2 April

[Rebecca McGuinness]

*SCAPE & OPF Events coming soon...*

*Preserving You Preservation Tools*
*26-27 March*
*National Library of the Netherlands, The Hague*

*Calling all developers and sys admins!*
'Preserving Your Preservation Tools' is a two-day training workshop
focussing on preparing maintainable software packages. You'll get hand-on
experience of open source tools and services such as Vagrant, GitHub, and
Travis-CI.

We will concentrate on core concepts and current practices for preparing
software packages, covering important surrounding issues including
documentation and licensing.

We'll be borrowing from the DevOps approach,  getting developers and sys
admins working side by side, while each use the tools and environments of
their choice.

Packaging and maintaining ensures that software is discoverable, usable and
sustainable for the longer term.

*Managing Digital Preservation*
*2 April*
*National Library & Archives of the Netherlands, The Hague*
This one-day seminar will focus on the issues that managers face when
implementing digital preservation in their organisation. It aims to bring
together managers who have a responsibility for digital preservation, but
who are not necessarily technical experts in this area.

It is an opportunity to learn about different strategic approaches to
digital preservation and to meet peers and experts from across Europe. The
day will begin with a series of talks from organisations and projects who
have implemented a strategy, and have developed or are using digital
preservation tools, followed by round table discussions where we will
explore the tension between stable business processes and the introduction
of new technologies.

The agenda is available at:
http://wiki.opf-labs.org/display/SP/Agenda+-+Managing+Digital+Preservation.

Further details about the seminar can be found here:
http://wiki.opf-labs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=37159017.

The cost for the seminar is EURO 100. OPF members are invited to send one
participant per organisation free of charge and additional places can be
booked at a discounted price of EURO 75 thereafter.

Please contact me (rebecca at openplanetsfoundation.org) before registering
