FYI. UNESCO call for a study on the future institutional structure for
Software Heritage.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Dear all,
I do hope you are all safe, and could take some time off to recharge the
batteries that these hectic times have drained quite a bit.
Some of you know already Software Heritage (https://www.softwareheritage.org):
it is a nonprofit initiative, started by Inria and supported by UNESCO, whose
mission is to ensure that software source code, as part of the common heritage
of humankind, is preserved over time and made available to all, building,
maintaining and developing a universal source code archive, providing
persistent identifiers for all software artifacts, and creating the largest
shared knowledge base about software artifacts ever built.
This is a long term undertaking, and UNESCO has just published a call for
advice, via a small feasibility study providing options for establishing the
future independent, non profit, multi-stakeholder organization that will host
Software Heritage for the long run.
As Software Heritage is a shared infrastructure that will support use cases of
interest to the members of this list, I take the liberty to bring this call to
your attention, and I'd be very grateful if you could also forward it to
whomever you believe could be interested in answering.
Detailed information on the expected advice and procedures to answer the call
is online at:
https://careers.unesco.org/job/Paris-Consultant-on-Software-Heritage-CIMID/519826502/
The deadline for the answer is September 26th.
Thank you for your help
Roberto Di Cosmo (roberto@dicosmo.org)
