We've picked up some more items on the wiki:

What Would We "Ask" of the Tech Community?

    *Make it easy for LAMs to preserve the content produced by your users - enable preservation through your API.
    *Don't push off all the costs of preservation to libraries, archives and museums 

What Do We Have to "Offer" the Tech Community?

    *resources to educate the Tech Community about digital preservation and long term data viability
    *guidelines for entering into digital preservation partnerships with libraries and archives
    *collaborative opportunities to look at how to include digital preservation partnerships into terms & conditions
    *forums for discussion, scholarship, and industry best practices for digital preservation
    *The prestige of collaborating with memory institutions.

I encourage everybody to head over and add some things, or send them out here on the listser.

Anil Dash mentioned at last week's digital preservation 2012 meeting (wrap-up blog post now at http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/07/record-crowd-participates-in-digitalpreservation-2012/) that the "Tech Community" has little understanding of what the digital preservation community is trying to accomplish.

Building on that, the NDSA Outreach group is looking to put together a list of "Asks" and "Offers" for the Tech community. 

That is, when we have an opportunity to engage with the Tech community, what 5 things would we ask of them?

And at the same time, what 5 things does our community have to offer to the Tech Community?

I've created a page on the wiki (http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Tech_Community_Engagement) to start capturing ideas (any welcome!) but you can also hold the conversation here on the listserv.

Thanks,

Butch
