[Esip-preserve] Call for Speakers to Container Strategies for Data & Software Preservation Workshop May 19-20, 2016

[Natalie Meyers]

To all members of the Data Preservation & Stewardship committee at ESIP,

The NSF-funded Data and Software Preservation for Open Science (DASPOS,
daspos.org) project is hosting a  workshop on *Container Strategies for
Data & Software Preservation that Promote Open Science
<http://daspos.crc.nd.edu/index.php/workshops/container-strategies-for-data-software-preservation-that-promote-open-science>*
at
the University of Notre Dame. This two-day linux container centric workshop
will feature keynote speakers, lightning talks, demonstrations, and
hands-on breakouts related to container strategies for software and data
preservation that promote open science, science reproducibility and re-use.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about how others are using
Docker and related container tools like ReproZip, Umbrella, SmartContainer,
NDS Dashboard in environments like the National Data Service, Open Science
Framework, government, publisher and institutional repositories. The
workshop organizers are confident that no matter the participants’ level of
expertise with container tools and strategies for preserving software and
computational environments they will learn from other stakeholders, benefit
from the well designed online use cases, and leave the workshop better able
to share their data, software and other digital research objects.

*Workshop Date:* May 19-20, 2016

*Give a lightning talk at the workshop!*
We want everyone to have an opportunity to share their enthusiasm and
inspiration*! The workshop lightning talks provide a great opportunity to
speak about your experiences, opinions or ideas relating to using
containers for preservation in a short talk. They can be used to generate
inspiration, discussion and participation in other sessions at the
workshop, breakout sessions and even just in the coffee breaks.
