Digital Preservation Q&A Session

• Aims to create a searchable, community-driven forum for digpres info/knowledge exchange
• Better than Q&As scattered among email threads, Google groups, Twitter, etc.
• Started on StackExchange, but never got enough traffic to be on their “production” site.
• Open Planets Foundation (European digital preservation community) agreed to host it.
• "Soft launched" via NDSA-All and tweets, this session is the “coming out” debutante party.
• Goal of session:
  • Port Q&A from other locations (like Andy Jackson’s harvesting from Stack Exchange)
  • Live Q&A entered in the site
• Maybe make a category for old SE posts
• Definitely note provenance for Q&As taken from elsewhere

• Chelcie – can enter the questions on the “big screen”.
• Matt – will enter answers on his own PC.
• Spencer – will also enter answers on his PC.
• All Innovation WG members are encouraged to bring their own laptops and enter answers and more questions!
• Others are encouraged to participate remotely
