Local #nttwEffect: today colleagues from the Austrian Mediathek and the Austrian Filmmuseum came to visit our archives and gave us some useful input about some of our equipment. In the coming weeks we’ll visit them as well. And we initially met each other at #nttw7 in Prague. 😃

The #nttw7 video presentations are now online!! 💻💫
A heartfelt thanks to our video editing volunteers for their contributions!

Second opportunity (not at my work) for AV Archivists. There is an Audiovisual Archivist position at UNESCO. https://careers.unesco.org/job/Paris-Audiovisual-Archivist/782714102/
The position is for a P2 and is based in #Paris. #AVpres #archives #digipres #nttw #nttw7

I really appreciate the efforts to record/stream online and make conferences freely available online following events, even though I wish I could have been there to take part in the discussions. That includes those who also blog about them, a great way to highlight conversations. Have spent some time this week watching recordings from #NTTW7 and #iPRES2023.

I wrote a few thoughts about this year's No Time to Wait! conference. Feeling very fortunate to be part of this knowledgeable and friendly community! 🎮📼📽️📶 💿💽 #DigitalPreservation #AVpreservation #NTTW7 https://digitalpreservation-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/less-waiting-more-do-ing-dispatch-from-no-time-to-wait-7-c59fd4d2966b

Missing all of my conferences this year - #nttw7, #AMIA23, & #DigiPres2023. Unfortunately, my uni has redefined #avpreservation & #digipres in a way that just does not make sense and in a way that makes it difficult for me to attend events like these.

#NoTimeToWait7 notes are amazing! It's as if I was following the session live. Thank you #NTTW7 note takers @yvonne, @erwin, Reto, Randi and others. https://bit.ly/nttw7notes

Really great to hear @kmur and Joan Hua on how we can make digital preservation open-source desktop applications more accessible at #NTTW7. I'm grateful that LOC and AVP are putting resources into this work and also pushing for us all to think more about designing for accessibility. Below you can find some recommended guidelines. And read the collaborative notes! People, not me, took really great notes with much more detail: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q_h6HNiKOYBE60mO4GAjCEloTyzjy3DwzigiTl8eGrc/edit

#NTTW7 Peter B. mentions xxHash. Beyond a sentence in the #DPC report on Which algorithm to use? and the Github repo (https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash), is there some written feedback on its use in the #digipres context?

@dericed There was also a great question: Is the documentation in #COPTR? Answer: We don’t have it now, but maybe could be an outcome of the Camera Card Convening in December. So DC #avpres folks: There will be a Camera Card Convening on December 11 in DC. @cristalyze is organizing, so possibly reach out to her if you're interested. #NTTW7

Great #NTTW7 presentation from Chialin Chou, @dericed and Bleakley McDowell on MKV Tags and Camera Card processing at NMAAHC. Their #Githubr repositories: https://github.com/NMAAHC/camera-cards and https://github.com/NMAAHC/nmaahcmm

Please don’t take my grump as dissing #NTTW7 - it’s been great and I’m enjoying having on while I try to restart our crawlers! See https://bit.ly/nttw7stream (and thanks for the link @archivist_Liz )

@mickylindlar I always encourage people who are even a little bit interested to attend #NTTW. I'm not an AV archivist or conservator, & there is a lot I don't understand. But I've still gained a lot from attending, even if it's just to learn what others are up to, to know who I can reach out to when I have AV (file) issues & to become more aware of my knowledge gaps. So I would encourage people to attend & also bring their own (preservation) issues. It's a pretty open and welcoming space #NTTW7

@mickylindlar I think #NTTW has included video game preservation and time-based art preservation at least since #NTTW4 in Budapest, so I would say #NTTW7 is continuing on that trajectory. But my impression is that the curriculum of students is changing and becoming more interdisciplinary, so I feel like I've spoken to several young professionals or grad students here who are really at the intersection of conservation, and AV, digital, and software preservation. It's exciting

@anj I hope you stayed anyway because the next presentation from Aida Garrido is so impressive. She wrote a #python code and methodology for detecting the sine wave tones. Pretty technical, my mind is blown. I’m always impressed with people who deeply understand math and physics #NTTW7

@archivist_Liz
cool! I'm missing out on #NTTW7 again this year due to too much other stuff. What i heard/read though is that #NTTW has significantly expanded its horizont from just AV preservation to more complex object preservation topics. do you think that's acurate to say?

Tuned into #NTTW7 but immediately frustrated by the kind of “ensuring an alien can watch Colombo in 10,000 years” presentation that, while admittedly fun to think about, is fundamentally distopian and unhelpful.

Feels like our version of Effective Altruism’s willingness to sacrifice today’s souls for tomorrow’s ‘minds’.

Okay, I’ll stop being grumpy now!

Jonáš Svatoš talking about developing Czech Digital Games Preservation at #NTTW7. There was a mention of #EaaSi :)

Back at #NTTW7 this morning. There are collaborative notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q_h6HNiKOYBE60mO4GAjCEloTyzjy3DwzigiTl8eGrc/edit and a livestream: https://bit.ly/nttw7stream. Come hang out virtually if you can't be here with us in Prague
