Preservation & Access SIG (PA-SIG) meeting
Austin TX Jan 1
The newly reorganized Preservation and Access Special Interest
Group (PA-SIG), which has played a vital role as a forum for
conversations and collaborations among industry, higher education, and
cultural memory organizations, is having its semi-annual meeting in
Austin, Texas on January 11-13. Meeting information can be found
at
http://sites.tdl.org/austinpasig/program/
I also include some information below from Art Pasquinelli of
Oracle, a long-time leader at PA-SIG.

Director, CNI
-------------------------------
Please Save the Date for the next Preservation and Archiving
Special Interest Group (PASIG) semi-annual meeting January
11-13, 2012 at the University of Texas, Austin!
I apologize for the late notice, but you will be receiving more
details on website registration, cost, the draft agenda, the make-up
of the Board of Directors, and thoughts from the new President, Tom
Cramer of Stanford, in the next few days. There will be an
introductory session at the beginning of the conference. This will be
followed by 1) practical presentations by cross-industry Preservation
practitioners, 2) requested talks from vendor visionaries on industry
trends, 3) and workshops on important topics. We expect to have
a strong focus on both Research and Media and Broadcast content.
Sponsorships: Please contact me directly and/or Tom
Cramer ( tcramer@stanford.edu) asap if
your organization would like to be an event sponsor. We will be doing
sponsorships on an event basis going forward. Sponsorship is open to
any organization - based on approval by the Board - since PASIG is an
independent group.
Pre-PASIG Oracle SAM User Group: Based on popular
demand, there will be a free, separate session on Oracle's Storage
Archive Manager (SAM) hierarchical storage management application on
Tuesday January 10, prior to PASIG. This is an independent, piggyback
event being organized by Oracle, but has been of keen interest to a
lot of PASIG attendees involved in tiered architecture development.
Key SAM product team members will be presenting and listeningat the
all-day conference. Please contact me ( art.pasquinelli@oracle.com) asap if you are thinking of attending, so we can estimate interest
and hone the agenda.
