[tei-council] Krakow Council meeting at DH2016

Dear Council, Since many of us on Council are here in Krakow for the ADHO 2016 conference, at the June Council meeting I volunteered to try to organize us on site. The conference organizers were really helpful in promising to provide us a room as soon as we determined a time for tomorrow afternoon, but because we were all (me included) distracted by sessions and likely to be distracted by them again tomorrow, I think it’s surely too late now to try to organize a virtual meeting. I herewith give up on that, with apologies, but I hope that we Council members on site will at least get together during lunch (at 1pm here in Krakow). Elli has a lunch meeting and could only join at 2, and when we realized that, plus the attractiveness of the afternoon session, we felt as if we’d best just take in the conference tomorrow and not try to organize a hangout session. Looking forward to Raff’s paper tomorrow!

Dear all, Our full complement is seven, and I believe I’ve had contact with everyone now: I think Friday afternoon / evening is the preferred moment for our special meeting of the TEI Council during the ADHO conference. Can we arrange something?

Many thanks, from the end of the very wonderful eXist workshop!

Hi all from the eXist workshop— I meant to copy Magdalena on this, which means i think that we have six of us potentially meeting. How does everyone feel about Friday afternoon or evening?

Dear Jan, MSK seems to be free Tuesday 12th between 1 pm and the opening; also on Wednesday before 11:30 am; also on Thursday after 1 pm; Friday between 1 pm and closing.

Dear all, if Jan does not contradict, I'd propose you use that.

"MSK": go to http://dh2016.adho.org/venue/ http://dh2016.adho.org/venue/ click on blue flag.

(And let info@dh2016.org mailto:info@dh2016.org come know, when you intend to occupy the room; if possible before you do so.)

Travel safely, Manfred

Dear conference organizers (cc: Elli Mylonas, James Cummings, Raffaele Viglianti,, and Hugh Cayless), Here is a challenging question: About half of the TEI Technical Council will be attending DH 2016, and we would like to arrange a special TEI Council meeting while we are here. We realize this is tremendously last-minute, but we are wondering what you might recommend for us. There are just five of us, and we’re wondering if we can locate a small meeting room with strong internet access on campus where we can hold a teleconference call with other Council members who can’t be here—and we might get some pressing Council work done together. We’d like to do this for a couple of hours in the late afternoon or evening one day of the conference, say between Tuesday and Friday next week. I have been working at the Jagiellonian Library today and was issued a library card with its own internet access, and I have already set up edu-roam which is working well for me here. I inquired of the library staff if we might be able to book a small meeting space in the late afternoon/evening sometime next week, and they said they would look but were not optimistic because of the late notice. I thought I would write to you to see if you could recommend any good campus locations for this (or at least some place with stronger connectivity than a cafe in town).

Many thanks! I realize this is a challenging question on such short notice!

Dear Participants of DH2016,

This is some last-minute housekeeping before we kick off.

Numbers We are now, apparently, 870 strong. No comments.

Directions Thanks to suggestions from many sides, we’ve updated, again, the conference map at http://dh2016.adho.org/venue/ https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fdh2016.adho.org%2fvenue%2f&data=01%7c01%7cebb8%40pitt.edu%7c51e49ed24665471b6f3e08d3a710973e%7c9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7c1&sdata=O39rtG1n0tyQhR%2fX0A7vXQktWXH2KBsTBr0V0tmr8GQ%3d.

Fun Run A running tour to the Kościuszko Mound. Distance: 8 km (ca. 55 min). Meeting point: Auditorium Maximum. It’s offered twice. Time: Tuesday (12 July), 7 a.m. and Friday (15 July), 7 a.m. Please sign up at this Doodle, http://doodle.com/poll/wfkvdgtfvp69m2pk https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fdoodle.com%2fpoll%2fwfkvdgtfvp69m2pk&data=01%7c01%7cebb8%40pitt.edu%7c51e49ed24665471b6f3e08d3a710973e%7c9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7c1&sdata=HRmNWEeWNnvSxwnTvIn3udtH0hQy4nsuyVzESaPBjYc%3d.

Weather The current weather forecast (http://dh2016.adho.org/weather/ https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fdh2016.adho.org%2fweather%2f&data=01%7c01%7cebb8%40pitt.edu%7c51e49ed24665471b6f3e08d3a710973e%7c9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7c1&sdata=XNJSemWiRedf2VczcRDSqCxGPGSacdbwhKGHXDzYVxU%3d) promises (?) a pleasant and sunny Sunday, a very hot Monday and Tuesday, the latter ending with a thunderstorm; then Wednesday and Thursday might be warm and offer some rain (hence the last-minute addition of raincoats into your conference packs) and a sunny but not hot Friday. Right now, the outlook for Saturday is cloudy, but we’re speaking to various authorities to make it better for the Excursion Day. Speaking of which…

Excursions Our tour operator will maintain a presence at the main conference building, so if you decide to go on a trip only now, not all is lost.

See you very, very soon,
