Oxygen plugin update
by Martin Holmes 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Hi all, It turns out that we can't just adopt the new framework files provided by Radu. What we need to do is to compare each feature/transformation in the three current framework files with the new framework files, and figure out how to update each of our configurations based on the Oxygen ones; I'm really not sure what that will involve, and I don't have time to do it now, so I think it's time for Council to step in on this ticket: <https://github.com/TEIC/oxygen-tei/issues/27> I'm going to tentatively schedule some time next Friday to look at this if no-one else is interested, but until then I won't really be able to work on it, so be aware that if you update to Oxygen 25 and you're subscribed to the stable or bleeding-edge plugin, things may break. We might want to warn users too through TEI-L. I thought we had managed to convince the Oxygen team that we really need plenty of warning when they're going to release a new version that will break things for us, but they don't seem to have got the message. It's not really in their interest, of course -- our plugin enables people to keep using old Oxygen versions and still have up-to-date TEI and Stylesheets, so I can see how that might not be something they're too keen on. But we also have mutual interests that are not being properly tended; it makes no sense for Oxygen to release a new version with baked-in TEI 4.4.0 when we're just a couple of weeks away from releasing 4.5.0. I think it would help if Council had a more formal relationship with the Oxygen team and held regular coordination meetings.

New Oxygen and Oxygen plugin
by Martin Holmes 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Hi all, We just got notification from Radu that Oxygen 25 will be coming out soon with incompatibilities which will break the plugin functionality with a comment on this ticket yesterday: <https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2251> Then today I see that Oxygen 25 is already out. That means that anyone installing Oxygen 25 who is using EITHER the stable plugin OR the bleeding-edge version will have broken transformations until we get new versions out. Radu has very kindly sent me the new versions of the framework files which he has modified for Oxygen 25, and which will be backwards-compatible with Oxygen 21+, but not with older Oxygen versions. We currently claim that the plugin supports Oxygen 18.1+, but we will have to abandon support for anything before 21. I presume this is OK with everyone; I can't really see any alternative, other than spawning multiple plugin versions for old Oxygen versions, which is impractical. So I propose to make those changes this morning. If anyone objects, please let me know; if anyone would like to be involved, so there's someone else on Council who has their eye on the plugin, give me a shout. I'll wait an hour or two before changing anything so we can do it together if that's useful for anyone. Within the next few hours there should be a new bleeding edge plugin build to test, and I'll first test it with my existing Oxygen 24 then update my 24 to 25 and see if that breaks anything. This is very last-minute, which is not ideal, so I hope nothing does break.

Refrigeration phase
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Dear all, This is a reminder that we have entered the refrigeration phase. This is a phase where we pay special attention to open pull requests and issues that we want to bring into the upcoming release. Please do not commit major changes to the schema (except if they have been tested in a branch, e.g. ab), changes in prose are still ok. Freeze is on Thursday, Oct 20. Freeze means that the release branches are created and that only the release techs should commit to the release branches. The milestone “Guidelines 4.5.0” has 62 open issues (https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22Gu…) and “Stylesheets 7.54.0” has 15 open issues https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone… . Please take a look at the list of issues and remove those from the milestone, that you will not implement within the next couple of days.

OxGarage repo archived
by Peter Stadler 30 Sep '22

30 Sep '22

Dear Councilists, as announced at Newcastle Anne and I were taking last steps towards TEIGarage: * cleaned up issues in the OxGarage repo (at lease two of them were Stylesheets issues so we transferred them there) * added a deprecation notice to the OxGarage GUI * added a deprecation notice to the OxGarage GitHub README * added a deprecation notice to the OxGarage Dockerhub README * deployed TEIGarage at https://teigarage.tei-c.org * … and finally archived the OxGarage repo So, for the time being we might keep both old OxGarage and new TEIGarage running in parallel. Yet, if no errors show up we should simply replace OxGarage with TEIGarage in the near future. Have a great weekend Peter

Dear Trisha, Congratulations for being elected to the TEI Technical Council and a very warm welcome! I've added you to the Council and Board/Council mailing lists so that you can participate in discussions already now, before your term officially starts in January. You should also have access to the GitHub repository, the Wordpress Website, the Google Calendar, Slack (you already had access), and the google docs folder with meeting minutes/notes etc. I am pleased that you will be able to attend the October meeting where we will assign you a mentor to help you get started. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Updated Travel Reimbursement form
by Hugh Cayless 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Dear All, Those who need to submit a reimbursement form should use the one at https://tei-c.org/tei_travel_form/. The procedures for reimbursement are outlined here: https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php?title=Travel_Reimbursement_Procedures_for_… (yes, it’s on the wiki). There isn’t a US State Department rate for Newcastle, so may I suggest we pick Glasgow? It seems to me roughly in line with what I paid, when I paid for meals. That would be: Breakfast Lunch Dinner $12 $20 $33 Per Diem is for the days of the Council/Board meetings only, not for the whole conference. You’re better off sending me the form and receipts in digital formats. There is a mailing address on the form, but it will probably be quicker if you submit things electronically. Accounts Payable are usually processed in the last week of every month. Let me know if you have any questions. All the best, Hugh
