with the “digital preservation is people” line going around, i’d like to suggest a slight modification: “digital preservation is *dedicated* people” here’s 3 of them - put faces to all of the hard work, peeps #dp0c #digipres #digitalpreservation @DigitallySarah @EdithHalvarsson

love @mopennock closing statement that digital preservation is, at the end of the day, a people thing. it's often framed as a technical or finance problem, but it all doesn't matter if you don't have the people to do it. #memorymakers18

so many of the tools that #digitalpreservation relies on, were nighttime/weekend self-driven projects (either hobbies or to solve a problem that someone had in a work context). not nearly enough recognition of the volunteer work effort (aka love jobs) in #digipres #nttw3 #dp0c
This is actually also how Mediainfo started 15 years ago (it was just an hobby about studying file content byte by byte). Having time for hobbies helps a lot to start having some expertise.
