I am rather late responding to this message, but I did want to chime in on the NDSA Digital Preservation meeting coming up in Milwaukee November 9-10. I am on the program committee for this event, and we have just extended the deadline for program proposals to May 23. So there is still time for members of the Content WG to submit a proposal for a panel, poster session, or demo.

In particular I hoped that the Content Working Group might ask to schedule a lunchtime working group meeting. As of this morning, there were no working group meetings scheduled, but it would be a great opportunity for us to meet in person. If we are in transition with new co-chairs, it seems even more vital to take advantage of this opportunity.

I hope we can get some conversation going on the list over the next week. I think the website and the proposal form are pretty self-explanatory, but please let me know if I can help in any way.

Margie

Dear Content Working Group members,

 

In lieu of a call this month, we’re meeting over email. There are a couple of things we’d like to cover and we welcome your comments and ideas.

 

1)      Recruiting new co-chairs: Abbey Potter is going on maternity leave for the next six months and will return as a member but not a co-chair. Christie Moffatt is also planning to rotate off at about the same time, as her 2-year term is up. So, we are actively recruiting for new co-chairs. We are working with DLF to find new leadership and support for the group through the transition. If you are interested in leading the group under the new interest group structure, please let us or Oliver or Bethany know.

2)      Proposals for DLF Forum/NDSA DigitalPreservation 2016. The meetings will be held together in Milwaukee, WI Nov 7-10. Proposals are due for both meetings May 15, 2016. Is anyone working on a proposal? Are there any members who want to collaborate on a proposal? Please let us all know!

3)      Summer programming: Is there a project, organization or person you’d like to hear more about? Send us your ideas for presentations to schedule this summer.

4)      Need a refresher on what the CWG has worked on? Check out the NDSA CWG wiki: https://wiki.diglib.org/NDSA:Content_Working_Group

 

Please respond to the list if you have anything to add.

 

Thanks!  Abbey & Christie
