Your Code Is In The North Pole!, The GitHub Arctic Code Vault

If you are a developer, I am sure you are on the Github, for your development needs. Even if you are not, it is possible that you visited the site, to grab a project or search for some open source code for your own project. I, for one, have a several projects on the Github. SafeMapper, Guardocs, AirPosse, to name a few
Either way I just want to share that your code or the piece of code that you grabbed, will be preserved for a very long time, in the Arctic World Archive (AWA), a very-long-term archival facility 250 meters deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain in the Svalbard archipelago. That is very close to the North Pole! If you are interested in the GitHub Arctic Code Vault, and the other archival projects GitHub is working on, visit https://archiveprogram.github.com/




The GitHub Arctic Code Vault is a data repository preserved in the Arctic World Archive (AWA), a very-long-term archival facility 250 meters deep in the permafrost of an Arctic mountain. The archive is located in a decommissioned coal mine in the Svalbard archipelago, closer to the North Pole than the Arctic Circle. GitHub will capture a snapshot of every active public repository on 02/02/2020 and preserve that data in the Arctic Code Vault.
