All, This is a reminder that we are meeting on Monday November 18th for a joint meeting with SMPTE/AES/SSPI. Please be there to support *YOUR *Atlanta chapter. Thank you. Robert D. Butler, CPBE Chairman, SBE Chapter 5 Following is the announcement from sbe5.org. *November Program* A joint meeting with SMPTE/AES/SSPI *Thanks to Dick Perin of SMPTE-ATL for the following meeting description:* Imagine this scenario: You come in to work Monday morning and your boss asks, "Have you got time to dub some content for me? No hurry. The next day or two will be fine." "No problem, boss. What do you need?" "I need you to archive everything of cultural value since the invention of moving images..." "Uh... OK." What am I archiving this footage to?" "Your choice. You can pick the media. Anything that will be good for the next few centuries." "Uh... OK. I'll jump right on it. On second thought, I will start on it right after lunch. I need to turn some lead into gold first..." Seriously, what if your job was to preserve our heritage? Specifically, archiving media collections large and small. For at least 150 years! Oh, and don't forget the supporting metadata, and the ability to search easily and quickly. And, the media needs to be easily accessible. What to keep? What not to keep? Those might be the easiest questions. Or would they? *Our guest, Mr. James Snyder, is a Senior System Administrator from the Library of Congress, based out of Culpeper, Virginia.* This promises to be a very interesting and unusual meeting. *Media Asset Management will never look the same to you again!* November 18, 2013 (Note: Third Monday of the Month) Dinner 6:30 PM Meeting 7:00 PM Turner Techwood Campus - Advanced Signup Required Please Sign Up Before Noon on Monday November 18 Sign up by following this link: http://www.atlanta-smpte.org/
