05:08 πŸ”— SketchCow Hello and hello.
05:22 πŸ”— JesseW has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
05:22 πŸ”— JesseW has joined #archiveteam
05:25 πŸ”— myself Which, exactly?
05:30 πŸ”— SketchCow Twice as much.
05:30 πŸ”— SketchCow As expected, I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of positive reaction to the Atlantic Article
05:30 πŸ”— vitzli has joined #archiveteam
05:31 πŸ”— SketchCow And a return of the relatively small number of professional archivists who just fuckin' HATE me
05:31 πŸ”— SketchCow I'm fascinated at the tiny group
05:31 πŸ”— pikhq What, are you doing it insufficiently good, or... ?
05:31 πŸ”— SketchCow Oh, bunch of things.
05:31 πŸ”— SketchCow First of all, I'm a white guy from San Francisco. Three strikes
05:32 πŸ”— SketchCow Second, I use terms imprecisely. Drives the pedants nuts
05:32 πŸ”— SketchCow Third, I get the spotlight, what about everyone who doesn't get the spotlight
05:32 πŸ”— SketchCow Fourth, the use of volunteer labor is going to destroy the professional archivist market and profession
05:32 πŸ”— pikhq The downsides of being loud and visible. :)
05:35 πŸ”— SketchCow Can you imagine how scared, how paranoid, how completely terrible your life and perhaps profession if something like Archive Team and Archive Corps represents a credible, intimidating threat?
05:35 πŸ”— SketchCow It's very similar to the open source will destroy good software argument.
05:35 πŸ”— Zandro Hoarders 2: Unburied Dead
05:35 πŸ”— pikhq I'd go with "career" rather than "profession". I highly doubt we're going to kill off professional archivists.
05:36 πŸ”— pikhq At a minimum, I don't think the Library of Congress is going under. :)
05:36 πŸ”— SilSte :D
05:36 πŸ”— SilSte what article are you talking about? Must have overseen it
05:37 πŸ”— pikhq (also, seriously, if the profession can get killed off by volunteer labor that easily maybe it should be. Apparently it's not doing that much. :P)
05:38 πŸ”— SketchCow I don't know... we have a godane
05:40 πŸ”— myself The mention of "other groups that have been doing this for years or decades" in the first missive did pique my interest -- are there best-practices to be learned from? Actual helpful people among the nattering fray? Allies, resources, waiting tasks?
05:42 πŸ”— garyrh_ SilSte, http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2015/09/introducing-the-archive-corps/403135/
05:43 πŸ”— vitzli there was an volunteer effort to scan books since 2000s in Russia
05:44 πŸ”— vitzli Library Genesis includes KoLXo3 aka Kolhoz library which was the largest of those collections (~70DVD), homelab was also a pretty big one
05:45 πŸ”— vitzli basically, scantailor is a spiritual remake of a tool (ScanKromsator) that was used to scan books there
05:46 πŸ”— SketchCow I long ago came to terms that I am the RuPaul of archiving.
05:46 πŸ”— SketchCow Very popular and recognizable, but functioning mostly as a bridge to help people understand the basic concepts, even if I'm not following all the rules.
05:47 πŸ”— vitzli speaking of Kolhoz library, since it is distributed as iso images, may I put them into IA? is it a right place?
05:47 πŸ”— SketchCow Go ahead
05:49 πŸ”— ersi The answer is always yes, unless it's something *really* sketchy.
05:49 πŸ”— SketchCow https://www.flickr.com/photos/textfiles/albums/72157655788134114
05:50 πŸ”— ersi Dem dar boxes
05:50 πŸ”— myself The original meaning of the word "files", full of the original meaning of the word "text"..
05:54 πŸ”— Zandro he's defragmenting actual files
05:55 πŸ”— bentpins So if I have a sweet picture of a cat I drew in MS Paint..?
05:57 πŸ”— myself Hmm. Textpiles.com is available...

15:26 πŸ”— myself Neat. Not a moment too soon, either, from looking at the dwindling line before that! It's sorta spiffy to see where my (and a ton of other) donations go in such a direct sense.

We need someone to help us crawl the waybackmachine for all the old webpages for schools like itt tech, Art Institutes, Everest, Phoenix etc. We have found that these schools have published lots of fake statistics over the years and students will be using the archives as part of their court cases against these schools. Anyone up for it?
