Hopefully of interest to many - DPLA Steering Committee member Carl Malamud and John Podesta recently published an open letter to President Obama encouraging him to establish a Federal Scanning Commission to establish a federal strategy to digitize public info at scale: https://YesWeScan.Org/ <https://yeswescan.org/> * If they get 25,000 signatures, the White House will answer the petition.* Calling all librarians, archivists and friends!! Not speaking officially for DPLA but as a huge admirer of all that Carl has done -* if you agree with the premise, please show your support and sign the petition<https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/%21/petition/start-national-effort-digitize-all-public-government-info/15vthgVB> !* please help rally our community and forward to your networks. Thanks!
