I am hoping that at least a few Ninjas will be keen to come along to the Future
Pefect conference 26-27 March in Wellington.

Future Perfect 2012: Digital Preservation by Design is all about learning how
to store, preserve and access digital information.
There is no open government data unless that data is carefully preserved first.

"...in an open format."
I think you meant to add.
Happy to talk about that at your conference :-)
Of course I did, Don. Of course I did.
Long live OOXML!

There is an argument that we should store the most important
information in a form that is both durable and does not require
special devices to read - except perhaps a microscope. Something like
Microfiche. However, for structured digital data the need for open
formats is critical.

I couldn't agree more. But I think we need more than just open formats - we
need open and community derived standards for collecting data, describing it,
storing it and making it available. And we need community support and will
power to preserve this data long after we're gone.
