Vale Carl Wilson, Digital Preservation’s Indie Rockstar

by @beet_keeper

Just a quick note wishing Carl peace wherever he is now and to send my best wishes to Becky and his family, and of course his colleagues at the OPF and everyone else who worked closely with him.

Can I remember where I first met Carl? He’s just always been around hasn’t he?

I suspect it was the AQuA hack-a-thon at the British Library in 2011. Carl was maybe working on an image duplication

Just found out the Open Preservation Foundation (#OPF) has quietly started to embrace generative #AI in its new ODF Validator tool. I have some concerns, so I opened this issue:

https://github.com/openpreserve/odf-validator/issues/293

If anyone wants to weigh in on this, please do!

Use of generative AI in this repo (and possible impact on other OPF software) · Issue #293 · openpreserve/odf-validator

This repo contains various commits that have either Claude or Copilot listed as a co-author. This makes me wonder if OPF has any (publicly published) position or policy on the use of generative AI/...

In Oxford this week for the annual #OPF face-to-face Board meeting. Among other things, we have a run-through of OPF's tools on the agenda today. jic you weren't aware: OPF adopted Fixity Pro (taken over from AVP) last year. The tool is now freely available here: https://fixitypro.com/

We specifically thank all paying OPF members for helping us making these tools available for all.
