The meetings are intended to help you learn about governmental digital information preservation issues using optical discs and the possibilities or opportunities for addressing them. You may also help others attending the meetings if you have knowledge of how your agency is addressing these issues. Presentations, Q&A, and informal open discussions, are the format.
