The National Library of France #BnF will be the host of the 2024 General Assembly and Web Archiving Conference next April.

They hosted us from the #OPF for a wee event last year - incredible hosts & the venue is so cool

If you're a #digipres librarian, please give this blog by @mpe a read: https://openpreservation.org/blogs/a-request-for-comment-automatic-digital-preservation-and-self-healing-dois/?q=1 & give feedback if you can!

I know a few #OPF members have discussed things like this pretty recently in passing - so it's cool to see these #digitalpreservation efforts start coming to life.

In our last article in the series
‘Monitoring Disappearing File Formats’, we look at the relation between file format and applications #OPF #DutchDigitalHeritageNetwork #digitalpreservation. @wikidata

Brilliant new blog today on the #OPF website - ‘Monitoring Disappearing File Formats: Common Crawl’, originally in Dutch by Rein van ‘t Veer.

It’s the second of the #DutchDigitalHeritageNetwork 's English translations of the Preservation Watch and Preferred Formats program series #digitalpreservation. Read it here: https://openpreservation.org/blogs/monitoring-disappearing-file-formats-2/?q=1 @general

For those who didn't see earlier, the #OPF have announced a new veraPDF-powered application: the PDF File Checker based on the Arlington PDF Model!

An invaluable resource for anyone developing or testing #digitalpreservation PDF tools! Read more here: https://openpreservation.org/news/development-preview-pdf-file-checker-based-on-the-arlington-pdf-model/

Oh, this looks good - #OpenPreservationFoundation #OPF and the #PDFAssociation have released a first development preview of a #VeraPDF-powered #PDF checker. The software is based on the #Arlington PDF model, and analyses PDF files against the full PDF 2.0 specification:

Haven't tried it yet, but based on what I'm reading this looks like the future of #PDF validation to me!

interesting discussion that followed about how #COPTR is used to find tools.

perfect segue to plug that the #OPF are hosting Dr. Amber Cushing from Univ. Dublin next month to talk about genuinely exactly this https://openpreservation.org/events/how-do-users-discover-digital-curation-tools/?q=8167 !!

CODING BEGINNERS - what would you specifically like to see from the #OPF 's hackathon this summer. We want to make sure we have all the bases covered !!

#OPFHACKATHON #DigitalPreservation

controversially, the best part is that it's named after #BattlestarGalactica ’s Colonial Vipers, or the Vic Vipers from Gradius.

Thanks to the collab. efforts of the Dutch Digital Heritage Network, National Archives of the Netherlands + the #OPF, you can now launch your own.

the #OPF just held a webinar launch party for ViPER - their new #digitalpreservation virtual machine which runs popular #opensource preservation tools with graphical user interfaces. download it and play here:

the #OPF are having a long, and (hopefully) chilled out, #hackathon over the summer.

there will be heaps of opportunities to learn, especially if you're a complete beginner.

@carl wrote a wee blog about it here: https://openpreservation.org/blogs/hacking-makes-you-lose-ctrl-the-return-of-the-opf-hackathon/?q=1
