Dear all, iPRES 2023 is looking for 5 volunteers to manage this year’s Digital Preservation Bake-Off Challenge. The Bake-Off has been a popular and exciting part of previous iPRES conferences, and we want to continue the tradition for 2023! The Bake-Off showcases digital preservation tools by having developers and/or vendors compete on specific tasks with a shared set of data. The tasks relate to any number of digital preservation themes, such as integrating digital preservation into line-of-business systems, thorny content types, metadata extraction and handling, meeting user requirements, scaling up, web-archiving, or achieving greater efficiencies while not sacrificing quality of outcomes. Attendees see real-time application & tool demos, and developers and vendors get to show how their tools or systems solve real-world problems. Committee member tasks * Prepare the call for proposals to developers & vendors * Review the existing data sets and determine what new data is needed * Review the existing tasks and determine if there are new feasible tasks for the competition * Evaluate the proposals and assemble the Bake-Off program * Serve on the Bake-Off panel of judges Schedule * April 28: Deadline to volunteer * May 8: Call for Bake-Off Proposals published * July 7: Deadline for Bake-Off proposals The Bake-Off typically takes place in 3 sessions on a single day.
