Each episode explores a different software preservation context by providing an overview, discussion with guest speakers (specialists in digital preservation, software studies, scholarly communication, open source software and more) and open discussion with attendees. The webinar is jointly hosted by the <a href="https://www.dpconline.org/">Digital Preservation Coalition</a> (DPC) and the <a href="http://www.softwarepreservationnetwork.org">Software Preservation Network</a> (SPN). Special thanks to Sarah Middleton (DPC) and all the members of SPN Training & Education Working Group: Anne-Marie
