Hi all,
I am sharing this invitation because I think it would be great if we
submitted a proposal for a presentation for iPRES. Iryna added this to our
agenda
to discuss for next week. But, if you are interested and unable to attend
please indicate in a comment or note to us.
Best,
Amy

Subject: [CODATA-international] #WeMissiPRES: Call for Participation –
Submissions by 19th August 2020

***Apologies for cross-posting***
#WeMissiPRES
22,23,24 September 2020
Online
The global digital preservation community is cordially invited to submit
proposals for a programme of talks and presentations on 22nd, 23rd and 24th
September – a celebration of iPRES and digital preservation.
#WeMissiPRES is online so it can facilitate contributions from around the
world where distance might inhibit participation, or from early career
professionals who might not normally be able to afford travel and
registration fees.
All are welcome.
#WeMissiPRES is not a conference. This invitation is generic, the proposed
themes are expansive and the review process lightweight. There will be no
‘papers’ in the formal sense and nor will there be a weighty edited volume
of proceedings. Think of this not so much as a call for papers as an
invitation to sustain our discussions and keep us connected, until the time
is right for a fully-fledged conference again. It’s more like a fringe
festival or a coffee shop conversation!
Themes
#WeMissiPRES is a collaboration and celebration of iPRES and all the
digital preservation progress that has been made since the last gathering.
To ignite the conversation, we have identified three themes:
* Picking up the threads of 2019
#WeMissiPRES falls more or less on the anniversary of iPRES in
Amsterdam in September 2019. It has been a year which few could have
anticipated. What has happened with all the great insights and plans we
shared then? Themes about the role of archives in structural inequalities,
the sociology of digital technologies and the preservation of open source
intelligence were particularly prominent in the 2019 discussions, and a
whole slew of projects, technologies, use cases and solutions were
showcased. How have they fared considering the many upheavals of 2020?
* The Best of Digital Preservation, 2020
#WeMissiPRES gives us a chance to celebrate the best of digital
preservation this year. That’s partly about how the digital preservation
community has responded to the COVID-19 Pandemic, but also the economic
crises, the social movements, and ecological traumas of the year. The
biennial International Digital Preservation Awards also take place in 2020,
and the global digital preservation community is invited to participate.
Despite the gloom and worry there’s a lot to celebrate! #WeMissiPRES gives
us an opportunity to do that.
* Digital Preservation in 2021
#WeMissiPRES gives us a chance to consider the near future,
relating digital preservation to the ‘new normal’. Let’s face it, 2020 has
been so disrupted that at times we’ve all struggled to plan to the end of
the week, let alone to plan the long term of our digital infrastructures.
This conversation is urgent. Will it be ‘business as usual’ when we get
back to work? Or will the return to normality mean going ‘back to the
(unknown) future’? How do we capitalize on the successes we have
demonstrated? What new challenges have arisen unseen? So we welcome
reflections on actual events that have changed the world, and how digital
preservation will have to accommodate them; and all other ideas about the
future of digital preservation. One thing is certain, however: #WeMissiPRES
also gives us a chance to relaunch and update plans for iPRES in 2021. So
we will take this opportunity to give at least one small taste of the iPRES
in 2021.
Presentations that encourage audience participation or introduce dialogue
between two or more individuals are particularly encouraged. And we expect
short presentations to be no more than about 10 minutes long – there will
also be an opportunity for lightning talks.
Read the Call for Participation in full and submit your proposal by 19th
August 2020.
