by Syd Bauman 02 Mar '17

AFAIK we are good to go for our next session tomorrow, Tue 12-20 at 17:00Z. That's 09:00 in Vancouver, 12:00 in New York, 17:00 in London, and 18:00 in Vienna. Anyone volunteer to establish the Google Hangout and send out the URL? (I have trouble with Google on this machine, so would prefer not to do that myself.)

by Hugh Cayless 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

Dear All, Kathryn Tomasek is looking for volunteers from Council for the Members’ Meeting program committee. Any interest? We usually try to have a couple of Council members on the committee. It’s not a very heavy workload.

Github pages
by Peter Stadler 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Hi all, I just stumbled upon https://teic.github.io/TEI/ which presents an outdated version of the Guidelines. I *think*, those Github pages were created just for testing and could simply be removed now (to avoid confusion)? Best Peter

chap 23
by Lou Burnard 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

So who on current council would like to dive in with a view on how to improve chap23? You really shouldn't leave all those tickets to me! e.g. https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1586

I'm willing to be one of those involved and have been reading Michael's tickets but haven't really had a chance to dive back into the conformance prose to see what it is we really say.

As a reminder to all, http://www.tei-c.org/Board/procedures.xml#body.1_div.8 outlines what can be claimed per diem for the meeting last week, that is, for the meeting and associated travel, not for extra days. The public day meeting counts, because that was a TEI outreach event. The US DoS per diem rate for Prague is $136, per https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem_action.asp?MenuHide=1&PostCode=10… That seems high to me, as Prague seemed cheaper than Vienna, but maybe the State Department stays in nicer hotels. I dunno. So we are eligible to claim 70% of that, which is $95.20. Incidentals: Morning: $4.76 (5%) Afternoon: $6.66 (7%) Evening: $7.62 (8%) Meals: Breakfast: $19.04 (20%) Lunch: $26.65 (28%) Dinner: $30.46 (32%) You should obviously not request reimbursement for meals paid for by someone else, so when Syd picked up the check, he will just submit that for reimbursement. I know some of you were (as I was) caught up in various weather-related delays and cancellations. Expenses incurred as the result of these count as travel expenses, as far as I'm concerned, and are reimbursable. I had to take the train from NYC to Durham, and I'm submitting that ticket (coach class; I did upgrade myself to business class, and I'm not asking for the upgrade cost back). All the best, Hugh

Fwd: Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium, TEISimple
by Kevin Hawkins 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Could the Council put together a response to this? I'm happy to forward, or someone could write to him directly. If you'd like me to adjust any of the wording at http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/ adjusted, I can do that too. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium, TEISimple Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:04:52 +0000 From: Laczny, Joachim <laczny(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de> To: info(a)tei-c.org <info(a)tei-c.org> Dear Sir or Madam, At the end of 2016 under “Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium” the “TEI simplePrint: An entry-level customization, focused primarily on the needs of those encoding Western European early modern printed material” was added to the existing list (http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/). In the article, /Mueller, Martin; Rahtz, Sebastian; Zillig, Brian Pytlik; Cummings, James; Turska, Magdalena (2015): TEI Simple: An Introduction. A tour of TEI Simple from an encoding perspective. Online at https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/mast…, 8.2015, 18.01.2017/, it is mentioned, that “TEI Simple targets the area of Letters in the broad and old-fashioned sense of that term. Its choice of elements reflects the practices followed in the encoding of large-scale archives, notably the archives produced by the Text Creation Partnership, but also the German Text Archive and a variety of archives encoded according to Level 4 of the Best Practices for TEI in Libraries. It is simple only with regard to its <text> element.” For that I would like to ask: Will there be any further “Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium” concerning the “TEI Simple”, including e. g. manuscripts and letters, in the near future?
