I am an archivist working at a regional government archive in Sweden, and I am involved both in paper and electronic archives work. My unit is responsible not only for old records, but for current (electronic) records as well, and thus I have experience in trying to influence our software infrastructure and stakeholders in the organization to for example use and collect metadata according to archival standards. Software engineers have a tendency to focus on problems here and now, and that's where us archivists step in to ensure that technical and organizational solutions also take the far future into account

I am a avid user and promoter of free software, and using free software is clearly the most suitable thing to do for any organization whose goal it is to preserve electronic records. Sadly my organization is utterly swamped and locked into a plethora of closed source systems - I am trying to change this as much as I can, I recently found and lobbied hard for a AGPL-licenced archival description software that we will use, but there is a huge software infrastructure that I simply have no access to beyond that.

However! I am a trained archivist with a special focus on long term digital preservation, I have experience with medical records authored between 1766 and today, and I have some understanding of programming, so perhaps I can help LibreHealth out! It is a great initiative, and I wish that someday my (publicly funded no less) employer will escape the clutches of closed garbageware into something like LibreHealth. Our archival law requires us to preserve (essentially) all medical records safely for all eternity - I don't think we'll do that with MS & co.
