Digital Forensics Lab Tour
Wednesday, November 3rd, 1:30-3:30 pm
Fee: Free
Green Library, Stanford University Campus
In the summer of 2009 Stanford University Libraries created
a Digital Forensics Lab (http://lib.stanford.edu/digital-forensics)
to preserve and process born digital archival materials. The lab was
designed to use forensic technologies to safely transfer and process born
digital data from physical media that is at risk of loss due to bit rot and
format obsolescence. The tour will include a visit to the Digital
Forensics Lab, a brief demonstration of the forensic hardware and software, and
a discussion of our lab workflow. The lab space is small so the number of
tour participants will limited. If you are interested in seeing our new
lab please RSVP Michael Olson at [log in to unmask].
International Scholarly Infrastructure Technical Summit
(SITS)
November 4th
Fee: Free – Space is limited
Stanford Campus
Scholarly Infrastructure Technical Summits (SITS) are face-to-face
meetings of technical experts (developers) with the purpose to discuss
operational techniques for implementing reusable infrastructure components.
Members of the DLF Developer Community are encouraged to attend, as this is an
opportunity to discuss current activities with an international group of
colleagues. SITS meetings are specifically for lead developers, chief technical
officers and head system administrators who are currently working on large
scale scholarly systems that are reused by multiple partners. These
meeting are intended to be reflective on technical operations currently taking
place in these major infrastructure systems. Topics addressed will
primarily be operational technical experience with new system components, e.g.
use of a new apache project or testing of a new messaging systems architecture,
etc.
