A message to those who plan to attend the Code4Arc pre-conference: Thanks for your interest in this pre-conference! The content and the structure of the day will depend on who attends and what they express interest in, but we have started a planning document with an agenda to get the ball rolling: https://docs.google.com/a/artefactual.com/document/d/1iz9Y9o3SSUDH66VyXVAzzR6v5a7j6l90f3M8MxXkBF4/ Please check there for a sense of what is planned for the day and to add your comments or suggestions. There you will also find links there to install the three tools currently being discussed: Archivematica, ArchivesSpace and BitCurator. We will have demos available on laptops, but if you prefer to sandbox on your own machine we highly recommend downloading and installing the tool(s) that interest you ahead of time.
