I wanted to share this call for proposals with the CNI community.I have
been to almost all of the earlier conferences in the series, and while
they have varied widely in focus, they are invariably interesting and
thought-provoking.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Deadline for submission of proposals: December 22, 2017
Notification of acceptance: Mid-January 2018
For PDA 2018, we seek to create a balanced mix of personal information
management and personal digital archiving, in addition to a showcase
for exciting and innovative projects and programs. We strongly
encourage proposals from a wide-range of people and organizations.
These may include but are not limited to: community organizations
focused on gathering oral histories or other local collections,
academia, graduate students of all levels in all related disciplines,
those preserving familial material, activist groups, hobbyists, tool
developers, and information professionals such as archivists,
librarians, and curators. For proposals focusing on sharing practice,
please note that we are not seeking "perfect" archiving solutions and
strongly encourage proposals discussing "good enough" preservation and
challenges or roadblocks to archiving this content.
