SPRUCE blog posts by various authors on the OPF site

In books:

"...(the advent of OPF), together with projects such as SPRUCE (Sustainable PReservation Using Community Engagement), signals a growing movement towards the development of nationally and internationally based practitioner communities. Agile and enthusiastic, and centred more around community activities such as hackathons,ratherthan traditional project and institutional structures, these have the potential to advance the discipline in new and exciting ways." Practical Digital Preservation by Adrian Brown, Facet, 2013.
