NDSA:Cloud Presentations

In each case we would want to identify who would present, who will contact them. Then when they will present.

From there we can include specific questions we would like them to respond to.

Here we are working on a set of general questions for presenters to develop talks around.

What sort of use cases is your system designed to support? What doesn't this support?
What preservation strategies would your system support?
What preservation standards would your system support?
What resources are required to support a solution implemented in your environment
What infrastructure do you rely on?
How can the cloud environment impact digital preservation activities?
If we put data in your system today what systems and processes are in place so that we can get it back 50 years from now? (Take for granted a sophisticated audience that knows about multiple copies etc.)
