[Rdap] Digital Preservation Work Featured in May issue of Discover Magazine

[Brian Westra]

I'll echo the other positive comments on complementary and co-location of
meetings. The number of meetings and interest groups on digital curation has
blossomed, and co-location and coordination can provide a more compelling
and integrative approach to the topic. As others have noted, it can also
help reduce travel costs (and for many of us with limited budgets, it may
elevate a set of meetings from "wish I could go" to "got to go to that
one").
