Tristan MillerTogether with Katie Szilagyi, @apdamegriff, and @raynerlucas, I convened a panel on #Usenet as an #archive of digital discourse at #BDCAM25: https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Usenet_panel_at_the_Born-Digital_Collections,_Archives_and_Memory_Conference
Moritz Feichtinger#bdcam25 maybe the question of access and exclusion is too important to be discussed in just one (the last) panel? https://www.eldp.net/# , https://internetlanguages.org/en/ and others add a critical flip to #digitalpresevation
Roxana Maurer (Popistașu)@dpc_chat Technology Watch Guidance Note "Defining the Designated Community" (2023) http://doi.org/10.7207/twgn23-01 mentioned by @criticalsenses in her #BDCAM25 presentation "Digital Deposit Decision-Making: The Future Audiences Decision Model" especially in the context of the question "Do the donors and depositors of the digital content have expectations about who the content is being preserved for?" #DigitalPreservation
#BDCAM25 Another great presentation from @criticalsenses ,this time about her "Future Audiences Decision Model", intended to help guide organisations in decision making, when selecting and preparing digital content for deposit into a memory institution
#BDCAM25 "Exploring #VideoGames CD-ROMs"
Upcoming C2DH public exhibition @ 2-day gaming convention
Community-driven #DigitalPreservation
* Sharing disk images (abandonware sites, torrents)
* Use of emulators (e.g. DOSBox, Libretro, Lakka)
* Fan-made patches & engine recreations
* Preservation is often decentralised & grassroots (collectors, fans, online platforms)
Legal & ethical issues
* Preservation vs Piracy?
* Is fan-led sharing justified when companies don't preserve games?

#BDCAM25 "Exploring #VideoGames CD-ROMs"
Curatorial challenges: concept & narrative flow, target audience, games accessibility (game play, interfaces, latency, authors’ rights, etc.), nostalgic value, balance between triple-A best-sellers & less obvious choices
How to present games: emulation vs. old gaming console, gameplay relevance & contemporary significance
"Piracy proof (sort of... LOL)" 🤣
