**GREAT DIGITAL PRESERVATION BAKE-OFF**
After the successful Digital Preservation System Showcase sessions held at the iPRES conferences in Melbourne and Chapel Hill, the demonstrations on software solutions have returned to iPRES as the Great Digital Preservation Bake-Off! The Bake-Off was the chance for vendors and developers to present – and curious digital preservation minds to inquire – how tools fare in comparable situations. The Bake-Off consisted of a number of showcase sessions covering both open source and commercial tools, which were divided into two categories: full end-to-end solutions and content or workflow specific software. Eight vendors and thirteen developers demonstrated preservation tools and implementations of tools and services in front of a critical audience in a fine setting. Vendors demonstrated their solutions based on a test data-set the conference organizers created for them. By providing a test data-set, demonstrations became more comparable.
