April Council Call: Friday April 10? You decide...(Slack Poll)
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 07 Apr '26

07 Apr '26

Greetings, TEI Council! We've had a difficult time sorting out an April meeting, but we've winnowed down the options to Friday April 10 or Friday April 24. For the details, please see the Council Slack channel, where I launched a Slack poll to help us decide on which of the two dates / times to go with. I have not heard from 4 of you, but at the moment, the vote stands 7 to 6 in favor of meeting this Friday April 10 6:30 – 8am PDT | 9:30 - 11am EDT | 2:30 – 4pm BST | 3:30 – 5pm CEST. I'd like to decide this tomorrow so we can be ready for the meeting this Friday if it shall indeed be then! Thanks, everyone!

Reminder (by Tues March 24): Finalize Vote for April Council Meeting Times
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 24 Mar '26

24 Mar '26

Dear Council, Just a reminder: Would each of you check that you've indeed voted in the current WhenAvailable poll? As of today, I see only 6 of you have responded. This poll is to help us set our meeting dates for April and after. Here's the current poll: https://whenavailable.com/invite/JlwnUrXnj9pjbQNsgczt You may have voted in my original, poorly conceived poll that would only work for dates before March 29 (prior to the Europe change to Summer Time). We decided to start over with a new calendar poll that is due to close on March 24. (I'll shift it to close on March 25 since I'm late in reminding you all.) Thanks, everyone! Elisa -- Elisa Beshero-Bondar, PhD TEI Technical Council Chair Program Chair of Digital Media, Arts, and Technology | Professor of Digital Humanities | Director of the Digital Humanities Lab at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College Development site: https://newtfire.org

F2F Würzburg
by Torsten Roeder 25 Jan '26

25 Jan '26

Dear all, it is six weeks before the F2F Council Meething in Würzburg! I am happy to welcome you at my institution. Concerning lodging: Hotels ins Würzburg are quite small and can be expensive if you book late. None of the university contractors has room for the whole group (I called four of them). I set up a list of contractor hotels (cost is about 15% less than normal rate). Please make your reservation requests individually at your preferred hotel and make a note in the planning document, so we know where everybody is staying. Do it now, because in two weeks the city could be booked out. My recommendations (university rate included) are in the planning document, but of course you can book anything else if you like :) Here is the updated planning document with all the information you should require: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ispfaFsNV_u1g3_k3UHDsHEDGKA1amleTJ7Z3_f… All the best Torsten -- Dr. phil.

December Call + Scheduling the Spring 2026 Face-To-Face Council Meeting
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 25 Nov '25

25 Nov '25

Dear TEI Council members, Following the responses to our When2Meet poll, the December Council call will be on *Thursday December 18 from 7 – 8:30am PST | 10 – 11:30am EST | 3 – 4:30pm UTC | 4 – 5:30pm CET*. I've updated the TEI Board/Council calendar, but you may want to update your personal calendars, too. I will follow up soon with a calendar poll for the meetings in the new year 2026 from January onward. We also need to set some definite plans for our F2F meeting. Some scheduling parameters: - We would like to meet for 3.5 days if we can given that we're discussing P5 and P6 and have much to discuss in this special meeting. - March is probably better than May or June because: we'd like to be proposing some papers or panels / events on P6 efforts for the TEI 2026 conference to be held in August. - We have been discussing this week on Slack: *Sunday March 8 – Saturday March 14.* The week is helpful for us for a couple of reasons: 1) James Cummings can host us in Newcastle then (and Martina could host us in Graz). Though we love Graz, the consensus in Slack was leading us to Newcastle as the better option. 2) This is a much better week for me because (for once) I don't teach in that week. (But if we had to choose a different week, I would make arrangements as I always do.) 3) Several of you had already indicated in Slack that the week is good and also would like to have this arranged in the calendar as soon as we can. I have pinned a poll in Slack <https://tei-c.slack.com/archives/C06291YV55Y/p1764084159650229> that I ask each of you to fill out to indicate dates that would work for you within that week and also just to determine whether most of us can attend then. We can try to find another week if necessary, but I'm really hoping this one will work for us, even if a few of you can only attend part of the time. Many thanks for your help with this important Council F2F!

issues
by Lou Burnard 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

I'm lost in admiration at the way Council is ploughing/plowing through all these ancient tickets! I do hope though you'll find time to advance a couple of issues which are holding up dracorisation of my lovely victorian plays : in particular nested spGrp (#2695) and actor@perf (#2724) -- these modest proposals have both been approved by someone other than me now, so why not make an old man happy and fit them in the next release?
