The Open Call for the Great Digital Preservation Bake-Off during iPRES 2019, is now closed. Have a look at the bakers in the Conference Programme.
We are seeking submissions from software developers and vendors who would like to nominate software for the workflow-specific software category of the Great Digital Preservation Bake-Off, to be held as part of the iPRES 2019 conference at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam on 16 – 20 September.
About the Bake-Off
The Bake-Off is THE chance for vendors & developers to present – and curious digital preservation minds to inquire – how tools fare in comparable situations. The Bake-Off will consist of a number of showcase sessions covering both open source and commercial tools, which will be divided into two categories: full end-to-end solutions and content or workflow specific software.
Your Submission
Submissions of open source and proprietary software are welcomed, including software written and/or maintained by institutions, commercial entities, and individuals. To qualify, software must have reached a stable release and be production-ready by the time of the Bake-Off.
Review & Acceptance
All received submissions will be reviewed by the Great Digital Preservation Bake-Off organizing committee members. All submissions should should be sent by email to: gdpbo@ipres2019.org. All email submissions should contain the following information:
