Re: [Tei-council] Council and COVID-19 (was "Re: Paderborn")

I agree with Syd about officially canceling the Paderborn f2f – as sad as it is :( Finding a proper alternative is really hard, especially since our meeting was scheduled for a weekend. Nevertheless I think we should try to block those days—as Jessica suggested—and hold longer meetings about 1–5 PM (UTC)? Would that work for most? Best Peter

Hi everyone,

I just found this in my Spam (my TEI emails keep going there, no matter how many of them I rescue!!). I agree with Syd; I personally do not anticipate being willing to travel by the end of April, for any reason.

I'm open to more routine weekly meetings, though I'm also open to reserving the days that would've been our face-to-face for longer sessions, as well.

Hope everyone is doing okay! -j.

(The Fall remains a possibility, but it too may end up being cancelled. Same for Spring 2021. But I have confidence that if modern society has survived as far as Spring 2021 we would be able to meet.) I think we should be proactive (thank you for that word, Meghan) in trying to make up for the loss of the F2F. One suggestion would be start holding regular weekly meetings. The Tue 13:00Z to 14:30Z slot seems to be one that works for everyone, so it might be a good starting point.

Thoughts?

And no, Meaghan, you should not take the Metro. :-(

...

I think I was the only council member to be "proactive" about making my reservations for the F2F meeting. Given the current situation, I'm concerned that I won't be able to take the Metro in DC, much less leave the country at that time. I've canceled my hotel in Paderborn, and I just applied for a "voucher" from Aer Lingus. If we decide to meet later, fantastic. If we decide to meet virtually, it'll be nice to see you on my screen and I'll apply the voucher somehow personally. They have to let us back into Europe eventually, right?
