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

[Heather Piwowar]

I also strongly support the collocation of RDAP with other related
conferences, like JCDL, OR and perhaps IASSIST.

I'd vote for the sooner the better, so we can all start benefitting from
discovered commonalities and decreased fragmentation asap.

Let's do it for 2012, if it isn't too late to get our money back for
previously-made plans.  Now is the time to take advantage
of heightened awareness and attention... all of us, and RDAP itself, will
benefit greatly, I think!
