Fellow travelers, For those of you planning to come to iPRES (which I personally recommend), you should also know that PASIG, the SUN Preservation and Archiving Special Interest Group, is following on immediately afterwards in San Francisco, from October 7-9. PASIG is by design a practitioner's conference, and addresses the nuts and bolts of engineering and operating digital archives. The size of the event allows for an uncommon level of interaction across a broad range of participants, and SUN's sponsorship gives it a technological depth that is rare at similar events.
