Dear Colleagues,

The EaaSI team is excited to release our second Training Module: “Software
vs Content.”

Every three months, a new training module supplements and expands on
important concepts mentioned in the EaaSI User Handbook
<https://eaasi.gitlab.io/eaasi_user_handbook/>, opening the design and
functionality of the platform to wider feedback, comment, and discussion.

The “Software vs. Content” training module asks us to revisit basic
assumptions about the features that distinguish software from content --
highlighting the “context of use” and the “terms of access” as the greatest
determinants of how resources (software OR content) should be configured
and accessed in an EaaSI environment.

MORE ABOUT EAASI

The EaaSI program
<https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/emulation-as-a-service-infrastructure/>
builds on previous work to apply the Emulation-as-a-Service (EaaS)
<http://eaas.uni-freiburg.de/> framework for access and use of preserved
software and digital objects. The project is focused on scaling the
technological framework necessary for multiple institutions to configure,
share, and access software and configured environments. EaaSI is focused on
a distributed, community-driven architecture that sits on top of existing
digital preservation infrastructure. This directly complements existing
efforts by the Software Preservation Network
<https://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org/> and others to address key
aspects of software preservation including legal advocacy, research about
local software preservation needs, institutional capacity building for
software preservation, collection development, professional development and
training, and workflow recommendations.
