About the SeriesThe Software Preservation Webinar Series provides a survey
of software preservation contexts. Each episode explores a different
software preservation context by providing an overview, discussion with
guest speakers (specialists in digital preservation, software studies,
scholarly communication, open source software and more) and open discussion
with attendees. The webinar is jointly hosted by the Digital Preservation
Coalition <https://www.dpconline.org/> (DPC) and the Software Preservation
Network <http://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/> (SPN).
