One moment, please...

@lignum @BertrandCaron @davidrevoy @AlixB
really thrilled for all the great presentations and people at #ipres2026 this year!!! for me, ipres is the biggest digital preservation thing of the year. it's like all-the-holidays in an encrypted file on a floppy disk level of fun!
#iPRES2026 reviews were returned, I'll be talking about
* Core Preservation Processes, in a workshop and a full-length presentation, with @mickylindlar and co-authors;
* Elaborating format policies for digital painting and webcomic, with a case study of archiving the art of the wonderful @davidrevoy, written with @AlixB

picking #dp3 out of the long "stuff-i-did-today-list":

- management meeting on programme budget
- presenting the survey findings in a 1-hr EOSC EDEN webinar together with the always amazing @LM_HATII
- talking #ipres2026 with the papers & panels subcommittee

3 different meetings which appeared to be 3 different worlds. life has been a roller-coaster.

*Call for Submissions to the #ipres2026 Great Digital Preservation Bake-Off (no baking included! only tool-demos!) is now open!*

Submission via short form is open until june 8. We're sticking to the 2-track system: "Signature home bake" for practitioners whose main job isn't necessarily sw development & "Showstopper Pro Bake" for sw devs & vendors.

Not sure what this is all about but intrigued? Read up here or attend our "Open Kitchen hours" to ask us questions:

The Digital Preservation “Bake Off” – iPRES 2026

iPRES 2026 - The 22nd International Conference on Digital Preservation in Copenhagen, Denmark

@p3ter I am looking into trying #ImageMagick for this, although I still need a recipe for 4.0 to 6.0.

I'm most wondering if it's OK to archive them as-is.

I'll try to get some clean ones I can share, but it might take a week or so. I might even offer one or two for the #iPRES2026 #digipresbakeoff

Der Call for Contributions für die diesjährige iPRES in Kopenhagen wurde bis zum 16. März 2026 verlängert!

iPRES 2026 - The 22nd International Conference on Digital Preservation in Copenhagen, Denmark

Resurfacing after months of absence, because of physical health issues leading to mental health issues, exacerbated by huge amounts of stress at work because of 10+ years #DigiPres project. Said project reached a huge milestone at the beginning of December on test environments, only to take 2 1/2 month of additional debugging when nothing worked on "exact same config" production environments... Trying to write an #iPRES2026 paper by the end of the week now to exorcise it all... Wish me luck!
