[SGVLUG] TONIGHT: SGVLUG with Jason Scott of Internet Archive on Zoom

[Lan Dang]

 Hi all,
If you missed this talk, we actually recorded it.  It contains both the main talk and the Q&A.   

Jason Scott is a fantastic speaker and it was a walk down memory lane to remember the days of BBSes and dial up connections.  We also got some questions answered regarding the Internet Archive.

Talk Description:TEXTFILES.COM was created in 1998 to celebrate the long-gone era of the BBS, and for over 20 years has provided that service to generations of Internet users. But TEXTFILES.COM is, itself, a relic, now outside the realm of what the Internet is in the present day. Founder Jason Scott walks over his history before, during, and not quite after the era of TEXTFILES.COM as a library and archive. 
Speaker BIO: Jason Scott is the Free-Range Archivist at the Internet Archive and an occasional documentary filmmaker and podcaster.
