DPC Members are invited to drop-in for one hour of open discussion on a range of digital preservation themes.
In order to accommodate members around the world, and different time zones, the Member's Lounge will vary its opening times each month. Following this session, and to allow for Christmas break, the Member's Lounge will reopen at 1500 BST on Thursday 19th December.
