Paraphrasing Christobel Underwood of the Australian National University's lightning talk:

How to prioritise audio visual material for preservation
1. Magnetic tape!!
2. Reacting to a disaster and the damage caused
3. Items of historical or cultural significance
4. User Requests

spreadsheets are still the undisputed champion of digital preservation #digipres #ipres2025

Sobering slide from Kari James about data loss disasters #ipres2025

Is the Clippy costume still with you?

So great to hear about the use of #AusEaaSI / #EaaSI in Australia. Hearing how it is also really useful for raising awareness of digital preservation is validating. Reminds me of my post on Digital Patinas www.dpconline.org/blog/wdpd/th... #ipres2025

"[I often find that after installing e.g. a version of flash for one artifact, I just search for it for use with other artifacts]" Paraphrased quote from Bryony Cavallaro @ the State Library of New South Wales (I think) #ipres2025 - So great to here the benefits of #EasSI being realised #AusEaaSI

More gratification - so great to hear of people using @wikidatacommunity.bsky.social for digital preservation signature metadata. I just heard mention of using the Wikidata signature file in Siegfried! #ipres2025

How many formats are there?
@anjacks0n.bsky.social presents a paper on seeing if we can answer the question.

Some detective work gets him to the number 12k (I think)

Ooph, this hit home.
Rosslyn Metz from Emory university's keynote gives a lot of food for thought.

Is openness always good? Should we reconsider our openness in a world focused on exploitation?

And we are on time, on the dot! Amazing work!

Thank you Mick Crouch, Master of Ceremony extraordinaire for #iPRES2025 Quick Fire 1. @dppig.bsky.social

What an amazing revenue stream!

As a side point of his keynote, Simon explained that the licencing of .tv domain is a good revenue generator for Tuvalu. Wiki tells me it was 8.4% of Tuvaluan government revenue in 2019!

Preparing to co-host the first #iPresRadio Europe/Africa session later today.
