Aspects of Internet Archive’s currently services are unknown or misperceived. Stakeholders wish for services that are complementary to what national libraries undertake locally and help them put in place better web archives. the Internet Archive to lead the ongoing collaborative development of (especially) Heritrix and the Wayback software. A number of national libraries have expressed the need for a service supporting the use of key software including maintenance, support and new features. There are also clearly expressed interests in services that can help libraries collect advanced content such as social media and embedded videos.
The Internet Archive would like to thank the whatsapp lead participants again for being open with us and providing us with valuable input which will inform the development and improvement of our services. eb Summit: Locking The Web Open at the Internet Archive
The first Decentralized Web Summit is a call for dreamers and builders who believe we can lock the Web open for good. This goal of the Summit (June 8) and Meetup featuring lightning talks and workshops (June 9) is to spark collaboration and take concrete steps to create a better Web.
Together we can build a more reliable, more dynamic, and more private Web on top of the existing web infrastructure.
At the Summit on June 8, the “father of the Internet,” Vint Cerf, will share with us his “Lessons from the Internet,” the things he’s learned in his 40+ years that may help us create a new, more secure, private and robust Web. EFF’s Cory Doctorow, such a fine weaver of digital dystopias in his science fiction, will share what has gone awry with the current Web and what kind of values we need to build into the code this time.
