[Themaintainers] readings for infrastructure course

[Melinda Hodkiewicz]

Hi All

It’s a little peripheral to the curricula materials project but it is quite rich in terms of issues facing workers today and tomorrow https://youtu.be/He7kqk6rv6Q
Many of the “miners” she is talking about are actually maintainers of the mining infrastructure.
What she is describing is the digital disruption required to keep the industry alive in South Africa. It is also relevant to mines in the US as well as other sectors such as agriculture. These are live issues right now at executive ranks, it’s a question of organisational survival. You may not agree with mining it is a primary industry and provides considerable employment.
If you want to hear about how technology could transform mining and the jobs associated then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk93EZaXvn0

Yes, thanks, Bastien!

Camille, you found us out. I actually just added that resource page last week to put up the engineering ethics essay Andy and I wrote.

Our plan is to use that space for publications, syllabi, curricular materials, and such produced by the whole community. For instance, Andy and I are working with Jessica Meyerson, Hillel Arnold, Devon Olson, Nancy McGovern, Bethany Nowiskie, Trevor Owens, and, who knows, maybe others to create some writings and pedagogical materials around maintenance and the ethics of care in digital preservation, archives, libraries, etc. Some of that work will be housed on that page.

So, if anyone on this list has anything they'd like to house on the resources page, please let us know. It certainly needs a face list and development . . . and soon at that!

Lee

This is great, thanks so much! Camille’s right, our resources page should have one of those “under construction” graphics....

There’s another really useful bibliography that you (we) might integrate:

And when I was looking for that page I came across this one:

Cheers,

I'd love someone to throw this up on a website somewhere. the
Resources section of the Maintainers site looks a little bare ;)

I've collected the references and put them on this page:

Feel free to copy it anywhere you want, and thanks to all for this
great thread!

Cheers,
