Why did you drop out of digital preservation?
We want to understand why people might leave the digital preservation community, to know what support might look like if you needed more but weren't getting it? Or what drew you toward another industry?
How do you reflect on digital preservation in light of your new role or life? Have you insights that are important for your former colleagues? In an ideal world would you have liked to stay in the community? What does that world look like?
If you were once part of the digital preservation community, why did you drop out?
