Funding for preservation software development. Gary McGath. File Formats Blog. June 9, 2015.
The Open Preservation Foundation is launching a new model for funding the development of preservation-related software. The model allows organisations to support
individual digital preservation software products and ensure their
ongoing sustainability and maintenance. "US libraries have been rather insular in their approach to software
development. They’ll use free software if it’s available, but they
aren’t inclined to help fund it. If they could each set aside some money
for this purpose, it would help assure the continued creation and
maintenance of the open source software which is important to their
mission."
