March 17 sprint review to focus on PresNet development

The Texas Digital Library invites members to join us this Thursday, March 17, at 2:30 PM for the TDL’s weekly Sprint Review. During a Sprint Review, TDL developers demonstrate scheduled work completed on key software development projects. These reviews are open to the public and can be attended in person or remotely via web and phone conferencing tools. (See below for details on how to attend.)

This week’s Sprint Review will focus on the TDL Preservation Network (PresNet), an on-going effort to create a robust infrastructure for long-term storage of digital information at geographically distributed storage nodes. Specifically, the team is working on creating a DSpace plug-in to enable repository managers to nominate communities and collections for preservation. (Please note that the functionality to be demonstrated on Thursday is in early beta and will not be available for use in “live” production repositories immediately.)
