[Pasig-discuss] Digital Preservation and LOCKSS Materials Available

[Arthur Pasquinelli]

The latest updates on the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) program and open source technology are now available. The program is in the midst of a lot of evolving discussions around 1) developing new community LOCKSS Network models, 2) flexible preservation schemes with options for fewer copies than has been historically accepted, 3) broader content and super-node use cases, 4) commercial and open source developer collaborations around the LOCKSS architecture as web service components, and 5) active sharing of innovations and best practices between existing and new LOCKSS Networks. I shared the information below with the LOCKSS community and several people suggested that I make this information more broadly available. 

1) Anthony Leroy, who manages the SAFE LOCKSS Network at the University of Brussels and is on the LOCKSS Advisory Committee, gave a great two part Digital Preservation and LOCKSS workshop at the ILIDE library conference in Slovakia April 15-18. ILIDE is one of the lead digital library conferences in Europe. This LOCKSS workshop was part of the PASIG-oriented section of the conference. Anthony went over the need for digital preservation, the principles of distributed digital preservation, LOCKSS concepts, and how and why SAFE implemented LOCKSS. The workshop materials are available at: https://owncloud.ulb.ac.be/index.php/s/qBRFD4dsOiA51Ba.

2) Below is information from the last LOCKSS monthly call on April 24. This call was a review of the annual LOCKSS Alliance Meeting that was held March 29-30 at Stanford. Nicholas Taylor, the LOCKSS Program Manager, and Thib Guicherd-Callin, the LOCKSS Technical Manager, presented. This was followed by extended and insightful discussion with many of the LOCKSS community leaders and Advisory Committee members. Topics included:
