Playing History: Lets Build An Open Collaborative Repository Of Historical GamesTrevor Owens
A flurry of interest has arisen around the potential of digital games, simulations and interactives to promote humanities learning. Foundations and universities have invested millions of dollars into developing these games, yet many are built, tested, and promptly shelved, played by only a handful of students during the pilot testing phase. There is no comprehensive directory to connect teachers with these resources. If high quality educational games are to reach teachers and their students, there is a clear need to build a collaborative directory for sharing information. PlayingHistory.org is on track to be exactly this sort of directory, but we can use your help ensure it's success. I will give a walk-through of the site wireframes and functionality, and participants can try out the 30 game sample set. This session will expose AAHC members to a variety of historical games and lay a foundation for members involvement in both using the site as a resource for their own classes and as historian game reviewers.

Immerse, Imagine, Invent, Articulate: A framework for disruptive innovationPaulJervisHeath
What new product or service could you invent that would completely change your customers’ lives? How could you disrupt your entire sector?
This practical workshop takes you through an innovation process, helping you to identify the clichés that exist in your sector and giving you the tools and time to redefine them. The workshop provides techniques to disrupt those clichés, generate genuine customer insights, turn opportunities into ideas through proven ideation methods, create a coherent concept and then articulate that concept.
The workshop shows you how to realise a new product or service through a lean process of prototyping and iteration and we discuss case studies each step of the way.
Find out why focus groups are not design research. Find out why the average brainstorm gives ideation a bad name and find out how to make your own innovation processes have tangible business outcomes.
This workshop was ran at UX Cambridge in September 2013 and will be running again at the J. Boye conference in Århus, Denmark in November 2013.
Caring for Digital Collections in the AnthropoceneTrevor Owens
The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.
Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation Lightning TalkTrevor Owens
I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.

Testing Our Assumptions: The Centrality of Design Thinking and Scholarship fo...Trevor Owens
Research libraries are vital infrastructure enabling the development and dissemination of knowledge. They are simultaneously essential to the function of institutions of learning and themselves institutions that must grow and learn. In this context, librarianship must involve dynamic and empirically driven applied research and testing to improve our knowledge ecosystem. This talk explores how developments in human centered design, systems thinking for social change, frameworks for collaborative applied research, and service design can inform a general approach to the role of librarians in research institutions. Collectively, these areas of work support a vision of librarians at research institutions as both enablers of knowledge production and producers of essential new knowledge and scholarship.

We Have Interesting Problems: Some Applied Grand Challenges from Digital Libr...Trevor Owens
Libraries, Archives and Museums now have massive digital
holdings. There is tremendous potential for library and
information science, computer science and computer engineering
researchers to partner with cultural heritage institutions and
make our digital cultural record more useful and usable. In
particular, there is a significant need to bridge basic research in
areas such as computer vision, crowdsourcing, natural language
processing, multilingual OCR, and machine learning to make this
work directly usable in the practices of cultural heritage
institutions. In this talk, I discuss a series of exemplar projects,
largely funded through the Institute of Museum and Library
Services National Digital Platform initiative, that illustrate some
key principles for building applied research partnerships with
cultural heritage institutions. Building on Ben Schniderman’s
The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough
Collaborations, I focus specifically on why the public purpose
and missions of cultural heritage institutions are particularly
valuable in establishing new kinds of collaborations that can
simultaneously advance basic research and the ability for people
of the world to engage with their cultural record.
Start Today: Digital Stewardship Communities & CollaborationsTrevor Owens
The increasingly digital records of our communities and our organizations require all of us to become digital stewardship and digital preservation practitioners. The challenge seems daunting but the good news is we don’t have to do it alone. A distributed network of practitioners and learners across the country are increasingly finding ways to learn together and share and pool their resources to tackle these challenges and provide enduring access to our digital heritage. Owens’ talk will provide examples of how archivists are rising to the challenge and practical guidance for both digital preservation beginners and experts.
Scientists’ Hard Drives, Databases, and Blogs: Preservation Intent and Source...Trevor Owens
Carl Sagan’s WordPerfect files, simulations emailed to Edward Lorenz, a database application from the National Library of Medicine, a collection of science blogs, a database of interstellar distances; each of these digital artifacts have been acquired by archives and special collections. Born digital primary sources are no longer a future concern for archivists, librarians, curators and historians. As historians of science turn their attention to the late 20th and early 21st century, they will need to work from these born-digital primary sources. We have already accumulated a significant born digital past and it’s time for work with born digital primary sources to become mainstream. This presentation will give a quick tour of individual born digital artifacts toward two goals. First, I argue for the need for archivists, curators and librarians to reflexively develop approaches to establishing preservation intent for digital content grounded in a dialog with the nature of a given set of digital objects and it’s future research use. Second, for historians, I suggest how trends in computational analysis of information in the digital humanities should be combined with approaches from digital forensics and new media studies to establish historiographic practices for born-digital source criticism. I conclude by suggesting the kinds of technical skills archivists, librarians, curators and historians working with these materials are going to need to develop. Just as historians working with premodern documents require language and paleography skills, historians working with digital artefacts will increasingly need to understand the inscription processes of hard drives, the provenance created by web crawlers, and how to read relational databases of varying vintages.
Platform Thinking: Frameworks for a National Digital Platform State of MindTrevor Owens
Talk presented as a closing keynote to the Biodiversity Heritage Library's National Digital Stewardship Residency program meeting at the National Museum of Natural History. This talk reviews the National Digital Platform framework developed by US IMLS in collaboration with various library, archives and museum stakeholders and presents a series of additional conceptual frameworks on the role of software in society and psychology.
Digital Infrastructures that Embody Library Principles: The IMLS national dig...Trevor Owens
Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment
People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the WebTrevor Owens
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.

Digital Preservation's Role in the Future of the Digital HumanitiesTrevor Owens
Slides from an invited presentation I gave to the University of Pittsburgh's iSchool.
"Ensuring long term access to digital information sounds like a technical problem. It seems like digital preservation should be a computer science problem. Far from it. In this lecture Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress argues that digital preservation is in fact a core problem and issue at the heart of the future of the digital humanities. Bringing together perspectives from the history of technology, new media studies, public history, and archival theory, he suggests the critical role that humanities scholars and practitioners should play in framing and shaping the collection, organization, description, and modes of access to the historically contingent digital material records of contemporary society."

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
