As I have mentioned on HN before I have been working in video and image data quite a bit over the last few years and, frankly, that's a LONG time. We usually think 18 to 36 months out. 20 years, now that's a problem. I honestly don't think any of the current solutions that are out there will work in 20 years without numerous iterations of upgrades in the mean time.
With that being said, I am quite willing to throw my own personal time and energy into coming up with a long term solution for this family. If you are interested, my contact information is in my profile. Feel free to reach out.
- samch 12y agoWe work at Duke University, and I've reached our to the people who work at the University Archives. They basically mentioned the same thing you did about 20 years being a long time. As a software developer, I have thought about what it might take to create a system to support this type of use case using various cloud providers on the backend. Thanks for your offer of assistance. I will certainly let you know should that need arise.
