Checking https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices and https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/Internation… things still look good for our face-to-face. Hoping it stays that way.

UA waiving changing fees
by Raffaele Viglianti 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Dear US-based colleagues, United Airlines announced that they will be waiving changing fees for flights booked in march. They fees will be waived for 12 months. I'll look into taking advantage of this for the F2F trip, if costs are reasonable from DC. Hopefully other airlines will follow, but let's hope we just get to see each other in May! Link below.

I hate to bring this up, but...
by Hugh Cayless 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

We should perhaps be thinking about contingency plans for the F2F, in case we're hit by travel restrictions related to Covid-19. I'm not suggesting calling it off at this stage, but we should be aware of the risks. I'll note that Facebook tells me Elena Pierazzo is under 2 weeks quarantine at home after returning from Italy. So it's far from impossible. And that said, I will almost certainly not be able to make it in person. If things go according to plan, my wife will be in the middle of radiation therapy then. (It's ok—her prognosis is excellent, given what we know right now, but I'm not going to leave for several days under those conditions.) I'd like to participate remotely to the extent I can. Hugh

Fwd: TEI Question
by Elisa Beshero-Bondar 24 Feb '20

24 Feb '20

Dear Council colleagues, Can any of you shed light on this interesting question? Are we indeed using the words "licence" and "license" inconsistently in the Guidelines vs. the website? Best, Elisa ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sarah Ketchley <ketchley(a)uw.edu> Date: Sun, Feb 23, 2020 at 9:09 PM Subject: TEI Question To: Elisa Beshero-Bondar <ebb8(a)pitt.edu> Hi Elisa, I hope you are well! I have a question about spelling on the TEI website and in its guidelines. One of my eagle-eyed students in the Intro to DH class I’m currently teaching questioned the spelling of the TEI element < licence <https://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/ref-licence.html>>. My immediate response was that it was based on British English, but then I started digging around the website, and came to the ‘Licensing page’ : https://tei-c.org/guidelines/licensing-and-citation/ where the noun is spelled ‘license’. Any insights on this?!

Debian 9 -> Debian 10
by Luis Meneses 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

Hi All, I received an email from Joel at Huma-num about migrating two of our servers (web server and svn server) to Debian 10. I am including the translated message below. In this case, the migration path is an easy one since Huma-num is offering to do it for us. I will ask Joel for a timeframe when this will happen, but the transition should be transparent for us. Best, ----- -Luis Translation (courtesy of https://translate.google.ca) You are in charge of the administration of one or more virtual machines under Linux Debian 9, which run on our infrastructure. Debian 9 support for the Debian project has expired. All that remains is community support in "best effort" mode. We therefore invite you to plan the migration to Debian 10, which is as always easy, and must be almost transparent in a large part of the cases. We can of course help you to accompany you in this migration: - we do it - you validate in the process that everything works, and correct any concerns if necessary. NB: an easy and quick backtrack is always possible if in the last hours you have not changed the data contained in your virtual machine. This via the snapshot mechanism of our NetApp file server. ----- -Luis

on the content of <mapping>
by Syd Bauman 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

There are 21 examples of <mapping> in the _Guidelines_, and 5 different methods of representing the content thereof. (Although three of these methods are variants of the same idea.) The content model of <mapping> is macro.xtext, thus it can have only character data or <g>. Of the 21 of them, the desired mapping is represented in the content as: * straight character content in 15 (1 of those is multi-character, the rest are single characters); * numeric character references[1] in 3 (1 of those is multi-character, the others are single characters); * a <g> element in 1; and * the standard Unicode representation[2] in 2, i.e. they match "U\+[0-9A-F]{4,6}". The first three are variations of the same theme: the *content* of <mapping> *is* the character to which the character or glyph being defined should be mapped (whether expressed as character data, NCR(s), <g>(s), or some combination thereof). The last is entirely different. I think we can all agree that <mapping>U+00B5</mapping> means that the character or glyph currently being defined should be mapped to a single character µ = µ = µ = <g ref="#micro"/>, NOT a sequence of 6 characters U+00B5 = U+00B5. (Note that in the examples in _Guidelines_, the Unicode standard notational convention is used for all <mapping type="PUA">, and no other types of <mapping>.) But, as far as I know *nowhere* is this (the use of Unicode standard notation) mentioned in the _Guidelines_. Although I may be wrong about this, I do not think it would ever make sense to map a <char> onto a literal string "U+0123" (or "V=3456"). Furthermore, I think use of Unicode notation is a *really* good idea, *especially* if the character being represented is in the PUA; furthermore I suspect that the intention of whoever wrote this in the past was just that: Unicode standard convention should be used rather than actually putting PUA characters in a document instance. Thus I think the right solution is to: a) Have a _suggest values include_ list for mapping/@type (after all, we have it in the prose, sort of). b) Add some prose to 5.2 (#D25-20) that explains that in general "U+0123" notation may be used instead of "ģ" or "ģ", and that if the mapping is to the PUA area, this is the (vastly) preferred method. c) If anyone thinks it important to be able to map to absolutely arbitrary strings, then pick some value of @type (say "exact") for which use of "U+0123" would actually map to the string "U+0123". Notes ----- [1] Of course, they occur with "&" instead of an actual ampersand if you are reading the source. [2] Per the Unicode Standard Appendix A, "Notational Conventions".
