All are welcome at #DPConnect and there is no need to register: simply show up at the new time of 1300 UTC every Friday for thirty minutes of lively and light-hearted chat with colleagues around the world.
#DPConnect will run every Friday.
#DPConnect is designed to be short and deliberately informal, not more than 30 minutes each week and with no set agenda: participants are invited to come and talk about what they are working on, share work problems and challenges - or just
say hello!
As a new addition we will add a theme to #DPConnect on the last Friday of each month. These sessions – which we’re calling #DPClinic – will pick a popular digital preservation topic each month and invite discussion, debate and controversy
around shared challenges in preservation. Participants are invited to bring questions, queries and challenges on the relevant topic, as well as stories of what has worked well for them; or alternatively just to listen in to the discussion.
Suggestions for subsequent #DPClinic themes are welcomed, but the first four themes will be as follows:
|
29th October 2021 |
Preserving PDF |
|
26th November 2021 |
Preserving Spreadsheets |
|
17th December 2021* |
Preserving Lotus Notes |
|
28th January 2022 |

#DPConnect will take place every Friday, with a themed #DPClinic once a month:
|

#DPConnect and #DPClinic are available to everyone in the digital preservation community members and all are welcome to attend sessions in any of the time zones, provided all participants are respectful and supportive of one another and
adhere to the DPC's Inclusion and Diversity Policy.
