Dear all


The recording from last week's episode "EPISODE 5: Scaling Software Preservation and Emulation" is now available! You are invited to watch the recording and explore the supplementary resources provided for this episode here: https://dpconline.org/events/past-events/webinars/spw-scaling-and-emulation



This episode explores current programmatic and project based initiatives to create the processes and infrastructure that will support a growing number of software (re)use cases/organizational users. Our first use case highlights challenges and opportunities associated with scaling an institutional software preservation program. Our second use case highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with scaling software preservation across institutions.


EPISODE 6 of the Software Preservation Webinar Series entitled "Software Preservation and Legal Challenges" will now be rescheduled as a two-part mini-series in July.

"Software Preservation and Legal Challenges" will explore the legal challenges associated with preservation, sharing and reuse of software. The mini-series will provide additional time to explore both existing legal frameworks and future licensing possibilities, with perspectives from European and United States contexts.

More information on the new dates will follow in due course.


About the Series

The Software Preservation Webinar Series provides a survey of software preservation contexts. Each episode explores a different software preservation context by providing an overview, discussion with guest speakers (specialists in digital preservation, software studies, scholarly communication, open source software and more) and open discussion with attendees. The webinar is jointly hosted by the Digital Preservation Coalition<https://www.dpconline.org/> (DPC) and the Software Preservation Network<http://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/> (SPN). Special thanks to Sarah Middleton (DPC) and all the members of SPN Training & Education Working Group: Anne-Marie Trépanier (Canadian Centre for Architecture), Sherry Lake (University of Virginia), Andi Altenbach (Studio Gang), Neil Chue Hong (Software Sustainability Institute), Elizabeth Parke (McGill University), Daina Bouquin (Harvard/Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics).


We plan to build on this series with additional programming, including a series of in-depth interviews with researchers, developers, archivists, curators and others on their work in software preservation and curation. Stay tuned!
