Re: [tei-council] TEI Council @ DH?

I feel slightly bad about categorically saying I’m not going, but my submission got crappy reviews, so I assume it will be rejected, and without my giving a paper as a hook, I don’t think I can make an argument for funding, so :-(. I do think this would be a good venue for doing some basic outreach though, and I’m serious about providing support. Who else is planning to go? Hugh

More general intro sounds good to me. We could additionally offer some consulting - open office hours - for more advanced users. The latter could be hosted by the East Asian SIG

I was wondering about an Epidoc workshop, but if Hugh isn't coming that doesn't leave anyone else to co-teach. Although we could see if anyone else is coming to the conference. --elli

It might be a good idea to do an introductory workshop. Maybe something along the lines of the TEI + GitHub one Raff and I did last year? Not that more advanced stuff wouldn’t be good, but it feels like a venue where some basic intro might win new converts.

That said, I won’t be going, but would be happy to support anyone who wants to do some version of it.

Hi Martina— I think it’s a great idea, and I’m happy to help since I’m hoping to be attending this year’s ADHO conference anyway.

The course I was trying to get the TEI Board to support at the DHSI is an intensive immersion in XPath and its applications, and I’ve taught shorter versions of it as afternoon workshops. I wonder if it would work in some form as an "introductory" workshop at ADHO? For new coders, even an afternoon of XPath seems to help them to conceptualize ways to organize, locate, and process information—they get a better sense of things you can do, build, and study with TEI beyond representing an edition. I drafted a description of a week-long course here: https://github.com/ebeshero/UpTransformation/blob/master/ dhsi-XPath_CourseDescription.md, but obviously we couldn’t cover everything drafted here in an afternoon workshop. I’d be happy to rewrite this with help from anyone interested…or just join in on designing a different kind of workshop.

Cheers,

Elisa

Dear all,

taking up James' suggestion to promote the TEI by doing more workshops e.g. at the main DH conference, I want to ask if anyone would be interested to submit a TEI-related workshop proposal for the DH 2018 conference in Mexico? Deadline is February 16, I know, not much time... It thought of an ODD workshop, a Hackathon, an introductory training, TEI and LOD, etc.

Best wishes, Martina
