Hackathon
OPF Hackathon – Emulation, learn from the experts
This event will consider emulation from a practical implementation perspective. The purpose is not to repeat the academic discussion on emulation as a preservation strategy – nor to build an emulation stack for full-fledged preventive preservation. The hackathon aims to focus on emulation as a preservation method for long-term access, working with real-life test-cases.
Who Should Attend and Why?
Anyone wishing to learn about emulation from some of the leading experts in the digital preservation community.

Dev8D is the major UK event in the year for developers in the education sector to learn from one another and ultimately create better, smarter technology for learning and research.
OPF Hackathon – A Practical Approach to Database Archiving
The large and growing volume of data held in an increasing variety of relational databases presents a huge challenge to the archiving community. This hackathon is designed to bridge the gap between digital preservation practitioners and developers. It will provide a forum for practical problem solving and help practitioners to articulate their requirements clearly to developers; and will help developers respond more precisely to the needs of practitioners.

IMPACT/myGrid Taverna Hackathon
This free workshop will showcase how scientific workflows can be used in digitisation and related fields. Using a number of tools developed in the IMPACT project the workshop will explore how they interact within the Taverna platform and will then lead exploration of some advanced use cases and technical challenges.
OPF Hackathon
The OPF is hosting its second hackathon at the University at Cologne.
Topics include:
AQuA Mashup II
The Automating Quality Assurance Project (AQuA) will apply a variety of existing tools in order to automatically validate digital collections. Two AQuA events will bring together digital preservation practitioners, collection curators and technical experts to present problematic digitised collections, articulate requirements for their validation, and apply tools to automate the detection and identification of preservation and quality issues. Strong sustainability, take up and dissemination of project results will be ensured by facilitating cross pollination in events that

OPF Practitioners’ Workshop and Developers’ Hackathon
The Open Planets Foundation (OPF) invites digital preservation practitioners, users and developers who are interested in becoming a part of the OPF open source community, to join us to discuss your requirements, present and future, from the OPF products and services.
This is an opportunity not only to shape the future direction of the OPF product roadmap, but also to become part of the OPF community of digital preservation specialists and benefit from shared knowledge and experience.
