Re: [TUHS] UNESCO call for a study on the future institutional structure for Software Heritage (fwd)

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/… The deadline for the answer is September 26th. Thank you for your help Roberto Di Cosmo (roberto(a)dicosmo.org) _______________________________________________ foundations mailing list foundations(a)lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/foundations
