The sponsors have been kind enough to give me the
opportunity to say two things. Um, so one
of them about events itself and the others about the
organization of the event as program commission said, let's get wondering
why I'm a bit so about the event itself.
I've learned lots of great event coming away, having
learned things and also with quite a lot of questions actually, which I
think it's a bad thing. I enjoy events where
I can go to it and step away from them
, go back to my office just HQ I think
actually, you know, there's this problem, this
problem some which are new, some of which kind
of refreshing where have done both of those things.
So I've got plenty for me. I hope you
had to, so great. Thanks for that.
And the other thing I wanted to say because they
might want to say about themselves to say to Catherine
and martin in particular and that I don't think anybody
, I've seen anybody work harder together, not in
any sense of bad way have made hard work of
it. Just done absolutely amazing job. Put it
together and put this this process and we on the
committee been a pleasure working with the rest of the
community as well. And we do have this again
and I very much hope you do because I think
it's been thoroughly worthwhile as was the last one.
I think it's got a job to do amongst the
community and amongst the kind of ecosystem preservation events as
well. And we'll probably learn a bit more about
that as well as we have learned about the strategies
or the intentions of the other events and how this
fits together with those other events as we go along
. I just wanted to raise rates that I think
they've done a splendid job. I know that martin's
going to get up in the moment and do some
more thanks and more general thanks. But I just
wanted to say as a representative program committee, huge
huge gratitude to our principal actors capital uh MArtin and
the development. Thank you. I would very much
like to also say some final concluding thank you's and
including steps and moving on first. I would very
much like to thank our sponsors for the event without
which this would not. Or bronze sponsors. Green
Data Look nova Northeastern documented conservation center opened planets Foundation
Spring. It meant to sell all contributed and we
are very, very thank appreciative of those contributions to
the event or silver sponsors. I CPS are innovative
and oracle and our gold sponsors, which included both
organizations and institutions universities including the Council on Library Information
resources of Digital curation center, the Digital Preservation Network
GPM. And then the university's Auburn University also.
Just sorry Neil, I want to call you out
, thank you for your contributions as a gold sponsor
as well. University's Auburn University, U N.
T. And Virginia Tech. So please a round
for all of our sponsors. I would very much
like to say some thanks to everyone that made this
event work. Well our panelists are action session leaders
. Our plenary speakers lynching far far we appreciate all
of your contributions. This would have been an event
without all of you and also, you know the
attendees. So please a round of thanks to everyone
who contributed parts. I would like to thank my
colleagues on the program committee George, Davidson, Neil
, Brindley Charles, Henry who was not able to
be here today, but he's the president of Clear
Gail, Mcmillan, Aaron tree hub and Tyler Walters
. We would very much like to thank the volunteers
who contributed to students that you've seen running around shepherding
me around from one location to the accident. And
I don't know how many of them are here,
but we have some right for them. Some thank
you's that we will all of you, any of
you that are here. Come on. I think
for those who are not yet to everybody. For
those who are not here. I hope I brought
enough to make sure everybody gets a thank you gift
. So, uh, okay, well, we'll
get the additional ones to the other volunteers. Thank
you so much. And a big thank you to
our local committee posts the C. B. U
. C. And the ability to get the Catalonia
. Um, they most of them had to step
out for business. But I think Ramon is still
here. If you would come up please. Thanks
. Um, finally are what are listed in our
programs are ex officio committee members Michele Gallinger who could
not attend today from the Library of Congress, but
many of you who were at the first meeting will
remember her, her Well, um matt Schultz and
Catherine Skinner without which this would not attack. Finally
, just to bring us to a close the program
committee has taken careful notes of all the findings that
we've heard about this final afternoon. We will be
uh huh taking steps on following up on these things
. Obviously, the action tracks are all proceeding forward
at different levels of progress, some of which are
well advanced and proceeding on from strength to strength,
some of which are just getting started. And we're
very prospective but really exciting to hear about this meeting
. We've heard and noted about the need for some
sort of a crazy or white paper. We will
be discussing that promptly and hopefully perhaps producing something also
more perhaps nimbly and quickly blog posts. Uh the
idea of webinars or other means of continuation through workshops
or other events will be something we will be discussing
. I took lots of nuts from people about what
they understood the value of this conference to be some
of the things that I heard were that people appreciated
strategic focus across both fields and sectors um that the
uh fascination we end liking. I think we overall
have for this term in alignment, but also sort
of the need to explore what that actually means to
us the practical focus of the event. Um the
balance between the attractions of uh consolidation of the few
and the distribution of the many. Um the I
thought I really appreciated the thoughts by many people about
the most logical and effective niche for Canada to play
in the future. I appreciate that Cliff sort of
did service and a half by giving us some final
observations that we're going to take close downs of and
finally ideas about how to structure this conversation in the
future through inter networking between all the fabulous groups that
are in attendance at this event. Thank you very
much for attending. We appreciate all of the contributions
you've made and with that, I think all draws
to a close. Thank you. Yeah.
