Report on Cyberinfrastructure Software Sustainability

On March 26-27, 2009 I was fortunate to be able to participate in an NSF-sponsored workshop on Cyberinfrastructue Software Sustainability, which in my view is a critically important and much-neglected topic with complex relationships to both the future of scholarly communication and to data curation and preservation strategies.

The preliminary report of the meeting is now available linked from the conference web page at

There are also links to presentations, the meeting agenda, and video of a number of talks, including the one that I gave.
