Jess FThe slides for Sibyl Schaefer's "Facing Climate Realities: Digital Curation and Climate Change" at #BitCuratorForum 2024 are up! I thought this talk was keynote-worthy and so thankful that she shared it in our space. It didn't hold anything back, at times it made me uncomfortable in a way that I think is productive, and it felt really urgent. I hope she has the opportunity to take it around to other #digipres communities. https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/bcf24-session6/
ThorstedMy favorite sessions from the #BitCuratorForum is this QandA table. I feel so seen with the questions and real answers. https://airtable.com/app1a9aBxO4oFDUpG/shrrPym4fu2udorti/tbljFzggt5W2QZhMM
The 2024 #BitCuratorForum has almost wrapped - we still have a Birds of a Feather session for Educators tomorrow afternoon. Everyone's an educator in #digipres land so join in for some networking!
Almost all of the session slides are posted and recordings will follow in April: https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/forum/#slides-recordings

Excited for the #BitCuratorForum this week!
I have no presentation this year but here's something of interest: I've been experimenting with BitCurator under WSL and it's going well! Super easy to install using the BC command line installer and the "addon" mode (i.e. just install the tools). Has been working smoothly so far, even GUI apps! https://github.com/bitcurator/bitcurator-salt?tab=readme-ov-file#install-ubuntu-2204lts-or-2004lts
I take issue that an example of UGA's born-digital deaccession rationale is ""2 commercial DVDs of the movie "Kung Fu Panda"". All panda related items must be kept for the life of the Republic!!! 🐼 https://github.com/uga-libraries/born-digital-accessioning/blob/main/appraisal.md#documenting-appraisal-decisions #BitCuratorForum
