10:03:43 From Jason Scott : https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180223/17294539295/microsoft-helps-get-computer-recycler-sentenced-to-15-months-prison-offering-unapproved-recovery-disks.shtml 10:04:01 From Jason Scott : https://thenextweb.com/insider/2018/02/16/e-waste-recycler-gets-15-month-prison-sentence-for-creating-worthless-backup-discs/ 10:20:05 From Jason Scott : <3 10:20:08 From Aliza Leventhal : yes! 10:20:19 From Tom Ensom : Yes! Remembering Golden Gun mode :) 10:20:32 From Eric Kaltman : ! 10:21:28 From William Kilbride : I came across my sketch map of one of the layers in Doom when clearing out my parents house... 10:23:41 From Paul Wheatley : Awesome, and relieved it wasn't just me - showing my age... 10:31:16 From Jason Scott : :) 10:36:32 From Jason Scott : <3 10:37:03 From Patrick Aerts : In the research domain: we are advocating to funders and policy makers to treat "software sustainability" on equal footing with "data stewardsship" 10:38:24 From Jason Scott : https://archive.org/details/arcade_mk2 (Mortal Kombat in the Browser) 10:42:12 From Josh Hogan - AUC Woodruff, Atlanta : Just a thought: Archival collections of all types are based around what people care about saving; we also can't save everything, so we have to be selective in where we spend our energy. Nostalgia and love helps fuel the preservation of games, but few people will care enough to preserve their own work that they see as ephemeral, much less the software it takes to interpret/present it. 10:42:55 From Courtney (TDL) : In my view, the Digital Preservation storage networks have a responsibility to step up since they are increasingly growing and expanding with cultural heritage institutional content 10:43:52 From Courtney (TDL) : (I’m in transit, sorry, all chat) 10:44:31 From Patrick Aerts : The eScience Center set up a Research Software Directory, kind of front-end using Github atbthe background. Tomorrow the Escience Center and DANS discuss providing a single route offered to Dutch scientists to have their software stored, with everything on (preservation, DOI, FAIR-for-software-strategies etc.) 10:46:43 From Jessica : That's a great point, Josh! Thank you, Courtney! And Patrick - there are several domain-specific repositories that are interested in this portal approach, do you have a link you can share with the group? 10:46:54 From Josh Hogan - AUC Woodruff, Atlanta : Expanding on what I said before: It can be challenging to get datasets from researchers, or their code (as was said before, it's like being naked/vulernable to share imperfect code). It's important for us to find balance between just taking whatever we can get our hands on vs. what has the most importance/imact. Because what's really important often isn't what's available for acquisition. Where we spend our energy and attention is important, both as individual organizations and as a collective community. 10:47:51 From Alexander Roberts : Swansea University has it's own software 'skeletons in the cupboard' as part of its History of Computing Collection. We've got boxes of CDs from computer mags, and lots and lots of floppy disks containing scripts, hacks, .exe's. Our issue is curation of this prior to preservation. From a Research Data Management point of view I'd love it if funding agencies mandated preservation of some kind when funding software development... 10:48:35 From Jessica : Thank you so much for sharing, Alexander! 10:51:20 From Jessica : Would be willing to contribute to a shared body of data about local software preservation contexts? What are examples of shared measurements that could help to keep software preservation efforts aligned? 10:51:30 From Jessica : Would *you all 10:51:57 From Alexander Roberts : Totally agree! 10:51:59 From smorrissey : Not precisely preservation - but ACM (and also IEEE) are encouraging the encapsulation and submission of software for peer review and repro of results https://dl.acm.org/reproducibility.cfm 10:52:01 From Fernando Rios : Agree with your comment Josh. Though I'd stratify it a bit to say that just getting whatever we can is better than nothing from the point of view of research transparency and focusing "preservation" efforts (whatever that may mean for you) on the important stuff is what will be most impactful 10:52:06 From Paul Wheatley : http://www.swansea.ac.uk/library/archive-and-research-collections/hocc/ 10:52:17 From Alexander Roberts : Thanks Paul :) 10:52:39 From Alexander Roberts : Looking forward to the next one! 10:56:19 From smorrissey : Thanks to all 10:56:29 From Alexander Roberts : Brilliant, tahnks 10:56:32 From Aliza Leventhal : Thank you!! 10:56:32 From erinb : Bravo! Thanks all. Looking forward to the next episodes 10:56:34 From Courtney (TDL) : Thank you all! 10:56:35 From Jessica : Thanks to you all - looking forward to next week! 10:56:36 From Patricia Falcao : Thank you all! I really enjoyed the webinar! 10:56:38 From Tara Carlisle : Thank you All! 10:56:38 From ADDISM00 : Many thanks 10:56:39 From Devon Olson : thank you for your work! 10:56:39 From switmer : Thank you all! 10:56:39 From Daina Bouquin : Thank you! 10:56:40 From Paul Wheatley : Cheers everybody 10:56:41 From Veronica I-O : thanks! 10:56:43 From Tom Ensom : Thanks everyone! 10:56:43 From Jason Scott : WOO HOO 10:56:46 From Anne-Marie Trépanier : Bravo team! See you next week! :-)
