According to the Digital Preservation Europe:
"We believe these cartoons encapsulate complex digital preservation issues and problems and explain them in a funny and easy to follow plot. Please feel free to make use of these animations as part of your own work to raise awareness and understanding about digital preservation. Future animations will be released on our You Tube Channel.

The ESRI Southwest User’s Group (SWUG) has a conference each October to discuss ESRI software and technological advances in GIS. The conference rotates between five states – Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. This year, Colorado is proud to host the conference from October 21‐23, 2009 in sunny Pueblo at the Pueblo Convention Center. The conference will include 3 keynotes, feature presentations, ESRI technical sessions, and an opportunity to take discounted training on the 19th and 20th.
The theme is “Diversity in Action”, which is appropriate given Pueblo’s rich cultural heritage and our varied track themes which include GIS applications in Health, Energy, Agriculture, and Natural Resources. Registration and a call for papers will begin in March. Please save the date and check www.swug2009.com for details as they become available.
