Re: [tei-council] Whither TEI Sessions

If nobody is passionate about presentation #1, I'd be happy to take it on. Maybe someone with more experience could back me up on the release part (particularly re: Oxygen components) Raff On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 10:10 AM, Hugh Cayless wrote:

Reminder: we need at least 2 more volunteers to present during the Council session. Don't all shout at once!

I certainly have no objection, though I think I can predict the outcome. In other mail from the Board I see that the TEI's problems are largely because "social facts" often contradict "actual facts", and there clearly is an established "social fact" that customization is hard and unnecessary, even though we keep saying it's neither. So we need either to find a better way of saying it, or give up. Not the least irritating aspect of this is that those who refuse to do customisation then proceed to reproach the TEI system with being too large and complex, or not sufficiently customized to their needs.

Your name's on it! Do you think doing that sort of survey would be useful? I'd kind of like to know what the TEI user on the street thinks about the question of whether to pick a standard schema vs. customize your own.

I've tried to distill the ideas in the Google Doc into 3 presentations. Can you all take a look and see if you agree with my choices? We'll need volunteers for each talk, which will entail writing and giving a short presentation (definitely under 10 minutes, 5 would be ideal). We also need a moderator. The rest of us should be available to the presenters as support both before and during the session.

I think all of the talks would benefit from canvassing the community beforehand. I did a little thinking about what a survey of

customization

usage might look like and put some sample questions in there.

Any feedback from the community should be solicited ASAP, I think, since we're less than 4 weeks out.
