Happy New Year! 2024 Council Monthly Meetings
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 02 Jan '24

02 Jan '24

Happy New Year, Council! Thanks, each of you, for responding to the calendar poll to help us arrange our meetings these next several months. We have a very clear moment of collective alignment. Council will be meeting on the same schedule as last year, that is on *Fridays at 6:30am PST / 9:30am EST / 2:30pm UTC / 3:30pm CET* . We'll stick with this schedule for Council meetings until any of us needs to make a change. Meetings are 90 minutes long. Holding our pattern of regularly meeting in the 2nd full week of the month, that means our first meeting of 2024 will be on *Friday January 12 over Zoom*. I've updated our schedule on the TEI Google Calendar, and will send out a draft agenda with the Zoom link via Slack as usual. Cheers, 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

Next Stylesheets meeting: November 30
by Helena Bermúdez Sabel 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting is scheduled for November 30 at at 19:00Z (11:00 PST, 14:00 EST, 20:00 CET). My proposal <https://docs.google.com/document/d/11_l_MZ6M2lxhE2qtH6QUkZVxo0-OQrNgRhOnpaU…> for the next meeting is to start the work on our test suite (unless the general opinion is that a specific group should take care of this task and thus we should do something else during the Stylesheets Group meeting). Best, H.

Last Council Meeting of 2023: Moved to Friday December 15
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear TEI Council, As discussed on Slack, I've had to reschedule our last Council meeting of the year 2023 to one week later: *Friday December 15*. From our Slack discussion that should work for most of us, at the same times as usual (at 6:30am PST / 9:30am EST / 2:30pm UTC / 3:30pm CET), same Zoom link we've circulated in past minutes. We have some new topics "brewing" for the Council call connected to the November release. We'll also try to do some "calendaring" with some new polls to watch for on Slack and here to 1. Make sure we have a good meeting time for everyone in 2024, and 2. Sort out when to hold our virtual F2F sessions this spring. Cheers and more soon!

time to fix, retire, or kill Test/
by Bauman, Syd 26 Oct '23

26 Oct '23

Trish & I are doing the p5subset → Stylesheets process. Most of our time has been spent handling Test/. I think it is just too cumbersome — the amount of time we (Council, collectively) spend wrangling with Test/ is likely by now much greater than the amount of time it saves by catching bugs early. I think we need to do one of three things, toot sweet: 1. Re-work the Test/Makefile so that the process is much easier: e.g., when comparisons are deferred, a shell script to perform them needs to be generated; this might be hard to impossible. 2. Stop using Test/, it is just not helpful enough to be worth it. Leave the directory in the repo so that we can use it when there is a particularly gnarly case, or when a human is not waiting for it, but remove it from the general test procedure we use, e.g. when generating p5subset for the Stylesheets repo. 3. Remove Test/ from the repo (and various instructions) entirely (and rename Test2/ to Test/ :-) My vote is for (2). I could be perhaps be talked into (3) reasonably easily; it would take some serious convincing to get me to vote for (1). P.S. BTW, Martin & I intended that we would do (3) when we developed Test2/. (I wanted to hang onto Test/, i.e. do (2), for awhile to ensure that everything tested by Test/ was also tested by Test2/.)

Dear all, The next Stylesheets meeting is scheduled for October 26 at at 18:00Z (11:00 PDT, 14:00 EDT, 20:00 CEST). I think we should dedicate some minutes to discuss the future of Test, and then focus on the priorities before the next release: if there is a ticket that you want to see discussed in time before the release, please add it to the agenda!

A little update
by Elli Bleeker 07 Sep '23

07 Sep '23

Dear council members, First of all, I hope you're thoroughly enjoying the conference in Paderborn! I wanted to write to you with a quick update on my situation (as far as Elisa hasn't already filled you in). The past months have been, well, hard work, but I'm happy to report all is well with our new little family. The twins were born on March 17, two months too soon, and we had to stay in the hospital for three weeks, but since taking them home they've been doing great. Enclosed a picture for those interested. Still, it's been quite demanding to take care of newborn twins (who would've thought?) and so far I haven't had a chance to recover from the burn-out symptoms I experienced right before (and during) my pregnancy. So when Elisa wrote to me proposing I extend my leave from Council, thus not only giving me some more time to recover but also giving someone else the chance to experience Council for a year, I considered it a good solution. I was indeed very happy to hear that Joey has been a wonderful addition to Council and I'm glad this solution worked out so well. This is not to say I miss you very much and I wish I could be there in Paderborn with you. Starting this week, the twins are going to daycare, giving me some much needed time to rest and get better. For now, I wish you an interesting, productive and overall great conference and members meeting. All best, Elli [image: image.png]
