In October 2022, Software Heritage hosted its inaugural SWHAP Days, a two-day conference dedicated to software preservation. In 2023, the Software Heritage team decided to organize a two-day, hands-on workshop in a closed committee format, scheduled for September 14th and 15th, 2023, at the Inria Paris centre. The workshop aimed to bring together professionals from diverse backgrounds, including conservation and heritage experts, researchers, and engineers. The objective was to foster collaboration, leveraging their collective knowledge and expertise to generate tangible and valuable outcomes for the community. Two topics were selected for this workshop: (1) building a guidebook on legacy software preservation and (2) telling the stories of legacy software.
