Software Heritage will create the largest public archive of software artifacts, which is an essential infrastructure to grow and disseminate a universal body of knowledge. *** Jean-Francois Abramatic (ancien directeur du W3C) Software is the key to universal access to our web of information. Software has become an essential component of our daily lives. Software must be collected, organized, preserved and shared. We need the Software Heritage project to make this goal a reality. *** Mike Milinkovich (Executive Director, Eclipse Foundation) Software is the fabric which binds our personal, social, industrial, and digital lives. It is an important part of our cultural heritage, as well as a significant portion of the intellectual efforts of humanity since the invention of the digital computer. The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to support this important effort to preserve and protect humanity's software legacy. *** Nenad Medvidovic (Chair, ACM Sigsoft) Software is now present everywhere. It is a pillar of our modern societies, and the source code of this software embodies our scientific and technological knowledge. In a word, it is our DNA. We fully support the objective of the Software Heritage project to create a comprehensive public archive of software artifacts. *** Diomidis Spinellis (Editor-in-Chief, IEEE Software) I wish to express my wholehearted support for the Software Heritage project. The vision of IEEE Software is building the community of leading software practitioners. The long-term preservation of our community’s work and achievements can be an important element for realizing our vision. *** Carlo Ghezzi (President, Informatics Europe) We would like to express Informatics Europe’s support to the “Software Heritage” project. Informatics Europe fully support the projects’ mission of collecting, organising, preserving and sharing all the software that lies at the heart of our culture and our society by creating a largest, curated, and public archive of software artifacts, together with extensive metadata.
