Dear NDSA, It's been an eventful fall so far! While less dramatic than a super-storm, we've had plenty of activity happening in the NDSA in October. Here are the latest updates: Updates: The Standards and Practices WG created a poster for presentation at iPRES, and won 2nd place for best poster! Special appreciation goes to Andrea Goethals, Jimi Jones, and Meg Phillips. The Wayne State Student Chapter Colloquium was a great success with over 100 participants! Posters and presentations available: http://wsustudentndsa.wordpress.com/ The Levels of Preservation has been posted for public comment on The Signal, http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2012/09/help-define-levels-for-digital-preservation-request-for-public-comments/ Communication Strategy for the NDSA has been completed by the Outreach WG. Standards and Practices co-chair Jimi Jones has accepted a position at Hampshire College. Kate Zwaard will be taking over as LC co-chair for the Standards and Practices Working Group. Best wishes to Jimi in his new adventure! Upcoming Conferences: NAGARA (National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators) call for proposals is ending November 2, 2012 - several great NDSA activities could be shared as presentations or a panel if you're looking for something to present.
