 Hi, I'm Jesse Shepins. I'm one of the founders in MetaLab at Harvard in Zika.org and our project XGemiros is one of the beta-spent finalists for the Digital Public Library of America. What do you hope to gain from the conference today? I'm really excited to meet all the other people that have been following this whole incredible project from all across the country that you kind of encounter in online spaces but to have the chance to see them in person and to kind of feel that energy in one room is something I'm really excited about. What do you feel the product says that's really coming out of your mind? I mean, my hope would be that we have a really kind of starting point of concrete goals and plans for implementing this grand vision. You know, it will take time to make all of the ambitious ideas of what the DPLA can be, reality, but I think that there's enough now in place that we should really just start doing it. Do you believe in it right now? My personal vision is very attached to the project of which I've been primarily working on and it has to do with really thinking about the DPLA is not just a place where you search and find records, but it's an environment with which you create and you make things and it's a place where people all across the country of all types can create stories, create narratives, use our cultural history as a means to write new cultural histories.
