Dear All,

No-one has contacted me about running for chair, and I don’t believe anyone has expressed their willingness to run on-list either. Please correct me if I’m wrong! As I said in our last meeting, I’m willing to serve for another year, particularly if nobody else wants to do it, but I’d encourage you to think about it (for next year even if not this one). I may not even be on Council next year, as my term will be up at year’s end!

It’s really not that bad a job, I promise :-). If anyone has questions about it, even if you’d rather wait until next year, do feel free to ask me or James (who was Chair before me) about it.

Note that the deliberately vague guidelines for Chair Elections are posted here: http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/TEI-Council-FAQ#How_is_the_TEI_Technical_Cou... http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/TEI-Council-FAQ#How_is_the_TEI_Technical_Cou... —it’s one of those things I’ve never done before as Chair, and so have gotten it somewhat wrong, but I don’t want to sneak back into the position, so I’ll issue a last call for self-nominations now.

My own reasons for wanting to continue are:

1) I think I sort of have it figured out now 2) My job at Duke will allow me to devote the time needed to it 3) I’d like to think things will be easier this year

If anyone objects or wants to stand, then we’ll set up an election.

All the best, and wishing you all a happy new year, Hugh

I like James’ democratic principles but on the other hand I find a one year term a little bit too short. Best Peter

I agree. It takes a year for a chair person to get into their stride. The good thing about having a one year term is that they can then stand down without loss of face if they have failed to get into their stride rather than struggle on. But our current chair has no need to do that, on the contrary I would certainly hope he does continue. On 07/01/16 10:54, Peter Stadler wrote:

To repeat an earlier question : is it now time to merge the lb42-pure-odd2 branch into dev? And, if as i hope the answer is "yes", could someone please tell me how? or do it?

In fact getting the stylesheet pureodd branch merged in is a prerequisite for getting the p5 pure odd branch merged sfaics Sent from my Honor Mobile -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [tei-council] merging pure odd From: Hugh Cayless To: tei-council@lists.tei-c.org CC: It would be nice to get the Stylesheets pureodd branch working properly so we could do both at the same time. Otherwise we'll have to suffer through test failure messages until it's done. I'm on planes all day, so I may be able to finish working on it while I'm bored in the air. Sent from my phone.

We might be verging on being able to do this now. The next hurdle seems to be that the epub build of the Guidelines is broken: references are lowercase, but filenames are mixed case. Does this ring any bells? The problem is that the values for @key attributes inside examples are being formatted as if they were pointers to TEI element specs, which
