    • Matienzo offered some comments after the call, but I'd welcome having feedback from others working with disk images.
    • Matthew added some comments
    • Is the central question: what do we want the repository to do and what do we want other tools?
      • How satisfied are we with forensics tools?
      • What's better – a monolithic tool for end-to-end processing, or a variety of tools? What's more realistic? Where should the hand-offs be?
    • Possible user story: better define the technical metadata we want for disk images
  • What next: getting archivists comfortable with the open source community? What does that mean?
    • Might be hard when you consider that a lot of the barriers we as archivists have are institutional in nature. 
    • Inquiry into frameworks, as opposed to nuts and bolts solutions – finding something more universal, like U-M is doing?
      • Would be nice to see more archivists blogging about this kind of stuff.
      • Bentley is doing the blog to promote dialogue – could Hydra Archivists do something similar to generate dialogue around issues?
        • Other modes?
  • Add examples of disk image technical metadata to Wiki page here:  Disk Images
  • Discuss possible meet-up at SAA:
    • Who's attending?
    • What should we accomplish with 1-2 hours of F2F time?
      • How should our dialogue occur, how do we promote involvement?
      • What, generally, would we want repositories to do for us?
      • Action Item: Ben and Chela figure out meeting options (pending)
      • Action Item: Ben cull through notes from past meetings and calls and recommend possible agenda for F2F meeting at SAA.
