Dear Elli and Sabine, Welcome to the TEI Technical Council! I've added you to the Council and Board-Council mailing lists so that you can follow the ongoing discussions before your term officially starts in January. You should also have received an invitation for the Google Drive folder "TEI-Technical-Council" were we collect our meeting minutes, notes etc., the GitHub repository, the shared Google calendar, and the Slack channel. I hope it works. New Council members will be assigned a mentor to help you get started - you will receive more information soon. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Best, Martina Dr. Martina Scholger Centre for Information Modeling Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities University of Graz A-8010 Graz | Elisabethstraße 59/III +43 316 380 2291 http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at<http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/> | http://gams.uni-graz.at<http://gams.uni-graz.at/> Chair of the TEI Technical Council | http://www.tei-c.org/ Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik e.V. | https://www.i-d-e.de/

elliptical
by Lou Burnard 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

I was pondering https://twitter.com/TEI_Pelican/status/1436279338182189056 in which it's claimed that the tag <ellipsis> doesn't feature in any TEI documents in the wild so far dredged up by the pelican, when one of the students in this year's TEI course in Tours asked how to deal with a manuscript like the attached: its a play script showing just one actor's part, the horizontal lines representing other actors' speeches. A real life case for <ellipsis> I think.

DST stands for different stylesheets timing
by Bauman, Syd 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

We agreed to move the Thu 28 Oct Stylesheets meeting to Thu 04 Nov. Problem is, we did not agree on a time, and unlike 28 Oct, where the “usual time” works (as [1]), by Thu 04 Nov Europe has fallen back to standard time, but US & Canada have not, meaning our currently scheduled times are [2]. At least Elisa would miss most of it if we leave it at [2]; and although I would not miss it, for me earlier is probably better because I will be waking up at 03:00 localtime to attend Declarative Amsterdam. Would folks be willing to change it to the “usual time” for the North Americans, i.e. [3]? (We can’t really push it out another week, as we have a regular meeting on Thu 11 Nov, by which time North America has fallen back to match Europe.) [1] Normal DST meeting times: * 10:30 PDT * 13:30 EDT * 17:30 UTC * 18:30 BST * 19:30 CEST [2] Times currently set for Thu 04 Nov: * 11:30 PDT * 14:30 EDT * 18:30 UTC * 18:30 GMT * 19:30 CST [3] Suggested times: * 10:30 PDT * 13:30 EDT * 17:30 UTC * 17:30 GMT * 18:30 CST

Ticket assignments and Councilors-elect
by Bauman, Syd 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Elli & Sabine — First, welcome aboard! Second, I am sending this directly to you because I do not know if you have been added to the Council mailing list yet. Some background: One of our major tasks is to address “tickets”, issues raised and pull requests posted to our GitHub repositories. This means you need to have an account on GitHub, and someone needs to add your account to our repositories. The sooner the better, IMHO. Every month one Councilor volunteers to sift through all the newly posted tickets to the two main repos (TEI & Stylesheets) and assign them to various people to be in charge of handling them. This person may also assign a priority label, thus the name of this process is called “ticket triage”. I am the ticket triage person for October and am a bit behind schedule. 🙂 Everyone — Unless someone tells me otherwise, I am planning to include Elli & Sabine in the list of people who get assigned tickets. Yes, they may not be up to speed to address any for a few months, but if there are good tickets for someone new to the process or tickets in their areas of expertise, it seems to make sense to put them in the pool. On the same note, unless Jessica or Meaghan jumps up and says “No, please give me more tickets! I do not have enough work to try to get done in 2 months, more, more!” I do not plan to assign any new ones to either of them unless it is exactly up her alley. (Meg has 9 current open issues assigned, Jessica 14.)

ticket triage
by Bauman, Syd 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

All, particularly Magdelena — Due in large part to power outage and internet down time at the end of last week (and the surge in other obligations that created), I have not done ticket triage for October yet. I am planning to work on it tonight, but probably won’t be done until tomorrow. (Magdelena because you are ticket triage person for November.)

Stylesheets Working Group Meeting Tomorrow
by Martin Holmes 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hi all, I just got a call from Syd to say that immediately following the end of the conference, his power went out, and it hasn't come back yet, so he has no internet connection and is unable to send out the reminder and agenda for our meeting tomorrow. So here's the reminder! Hopefully Martina will be able to send out the Zoom URL; last time around it was this: <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82509109944?pwd=aS9Va2ZVbUNEOTQ2ZXFXMXNkV3k2Zz09> but it may be different each time. Time: 10:30–12:00 PDT (JJ, MH) 13:30–15:00 EDT (SB, EBB, MB, HC, JL, RV) 18:30–20:00 BST (HSB?, NC, MT?) 19:30–21:00 CEST (MS, PS) Syd also had the list of issues that we proposed discussing, but I'm pretty sure we had decided to focus on one or two of the outstanding pull requests: <https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/pulls> It's important that we don't neglect these for too long because they get out of sync with dev and have to be cautiously merged or re-worked. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------- Humanities Computing and Media Centre University of Victoria mholmes(a)uvic.ca

Old TEI framework in Oxygen
by Martin Holmes 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hi all, At the last Stylesheets meeting, we happened to notice that the current Oxygen is shipping with an old TEI framework, so I raised an issue on the Oxygen forum: <https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic23434.html> This hasn't got any response at all, which is a bit unusual for the Oxygen guys. I'm wondering what the next step should be. Options might be to raise an issue on the oxygen-tei GitHub repo and ping specific people such as Radu or Alex, or perhaps to email George directly. I think it's something Council should decide on, though. For all I know, they just forgot to rebuild the plugin before their release, and there's nothing to worry about. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------------ Martin Holmes UVic Humanities Computing and Media Centre I acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
