Festival archives being posted
Several people asked me about archive pages for past Vintage Computer Festival events. Much of the information was lost during a rebuild of the former Festival owner's web site, however, much of the same information was also available at Archive.org. Tonight we posted about 50% of the basic date from past Festivals -- when, where, who -- at http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/archives-show-summaries/. (It would be a HUGE amount of work to post the exact web sites from past Festivals, and there's not much point to saving the logistical information about what time of day people will speak, etc., so what we are posting seems like a good balance.) We hope to get the remaining 50% onto the page soon. PS. You'll notice that the page is being populated from the bottom-up. No particular reason why. ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation
The old vintage.org is one thing, but what about last year? We should set the precedent moving forward to keep our new site's events online so we can at least have these available as a reference. Over time we will build up our own archive. vintage.org: even if yoy could get Sellam to send us the photo files, that would be great, just a simple gallery by year, at least, list of exhibit summaries. No need to reproduce the site itself BUT N Bill Degnan twitter: billdeg vintagecomputer.net On Jan 26, 2017 12:52 AM, "Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic" < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
