The impetus for this comes from two projects we are thinking of at the U of L. One is to collect and donate computers that are being decommissioned this coming spring university wide (we got a grant to replace a large number of computer lab and faculty workstations); the other is some web mirroring that we are looking into doing for a university that doesn't have a very robust infrastructure. Laurie also knew of examples of donations of computing equipment in the past to Haiti, for example. This may be is a little bit more straight aid than is the norm for GO::DH (which is primarily /not/ about aid but about sharing knowledge, research, and experience every which way). But it also may be something we may be able to help each other in: there are some logistics involved that people who've done this before elsewhere might be able to help advice on for example; there also may be a need to fundraise for certain opportunities. What do others think?

Based on my own experiment (mainly Russia in the nineties and Zimbabwe more recently) there are some issues you should consider (which you may already have, of course) -- but bear in mind, this is all anecdotical, so take it as that: * Dumping. How would this relate to local retailers of used stuff? Of course, this is for free, but if you pay for transport, are we giving money to DHL which could have been given to a local street corner shop? The ratio value vs. transport cost is vital here. If transport cost is nil the ratio is pretty high, but if money will change hands, checking if they can end up with local businesses is a good thing. * Legal issues, especially for equipment from the US. We did not buy stuff from Dell to be used in Zimbabwe because they were on in the Axis of Evil. I am not claiming that embargoes should never be broken and I have done my bit of "idealistic smuggling". But I would not like to see some mid level manager with no role in this suddenly finding her or himself in problems because a contract signed with Dell (as an example) is broken. * I trust you would not fail on this one, but with a number of years of experience in the flea market "business": remember the difference between used stuff and garbage... * For web mirroring the problem I have seen a few times is very low capacity of oversea connections, but decent capacity within the parts of the country networked. So serving the home country of the university can often be done from there, whereas for international users a foreign mirror could be very valuable. I wish to repeat that this is all anecdotical based on my own experience, and not based on any real overview of this area.

Based on my own experiment (mainly Russia in the nineties and Zimbabwe more recently) there are some issues you should consider (which you may already have, of course) -- but bear in mind, this is all anecdotical, so take it as that: * Dumping. How would this relate to local retailers of used stuff? Of course, this is for free, but if you pay for transport, are we giving money to DHL which could have been given to a local street corner shop? The ratio value vs. transport cost is vital here. If transport cost is nil the ratio is pretty high, but if money will change hands, checking if they can end up with local businesses is a good thing. * Legal issues, especially for equipment from the US. We did not buy stuff from Dell to be used in Zimbabwe because they were on in the Axis of Evil. I am not claiming that embargoes should never be broken and I have done my bit of "idealistic smuggling". But I would not like to see some mid level manager with no role in this suddenly finding her or himself in problems because a contract signed with Dell (as an example) is broken. * I trust you would not fail on this one, but with a number of years of experience in the flea market "business": remember the difference between used stuff and garbage... * For web mirroring the problem I have seen a few times is very low capacity of oversea connections, but decent capacity within the parts of the country networked. So serving the home country of the university can often be done from there, whereas for international users a foreign mirror could be very valuable. I wish to repeat that this is all anecdotical based on my own experience, and not based on any real overview of this area.

Dan and I ended up chatting on this related to the Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) and the Protecting Haitian Patrimony Initiative (http://dloc.com/l/info/haitianlibhelp) which emerged from dLOC partners in Haiti and other dLOC partners after the earthquake. dLOC partners have extensive experience in collaboration, sharing information, working to build capacity and community, and more. But, there were difficulties in the process for Protecting Haitian Patrimony. Difficulties are, in part, from a lack of knowledge about how things can/should work and having to learn when there's already an acute concern. The legal issues can be both real as law and as policy at different institutions. These are all great things for us to share knowledge about. Sharing many experiences would be very useful, from my perspective, for helping to understand how things can legally be done, for policy-related options at any single institution, and for times to partner when the policies make sense for an institution only. Sharing information alone would be great (e.g., example projects, anecdotal experience, concerns raised during experiences, experts to contact for the process for certain needs, experts for certain countries, etc.).

We (Luis and Yasm?n) will be happy to help on site for any project with Cuba, but I confess I never did anything like that.

I can?t see this web that Dagmar recommended (no internet), but I?m open to dialogue about any idea related to bring stuff to Cuba. Because broke the US blockade against Cuba feels SO GOOD .

You can now see them here: http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/proposed-bylaws/ Because GO::DH is an experiment in global community building (and ADHO SIG development) we began the year without bylaws and set establishing some as a main task for the founding executive. Over the course of the last six months or so, the executive and the smaller steering group of officers has been developing a set of bylaws to establish governance, elections, and all the other things a community needs if it is to thrive. The initial work was led by Barbara Bordalejo, who did some research on the bylaws and comparable scholarly societies and communities. She wrote a first draft based on those at digitalmedievalist.org. These were then heavily revised by the steering group, the bylaws committee, and subsequently the larger executive. The results of that process is available at the website. Since we currently don't have any bylaws, the approval process is not clear. In the absence of any other rules, my proposal is that we open these bylaws up for discussion on the general list for the next two weeks. If they prove uncontroversial and it appears that there is a consensus in favour of their adoption, then, at the end of the two weeks, we as a community will delegate the Executive to make any final editorial changes and approve them on our behalf. If, on the other hand, it appears they are unsatisfactory in some way or that we are not developing a consensus in their favour, we will ask the executive to begin a consultation process with a goal of resolving such differences as quickly as possible and proposing a compromise set of bylaws for a vote by the entire mailing list membership. If the bylaws pass over the next two weeks, then the next step will be soliciting nominations for the new Executive as described in the bylaws. The elections to the Executive are required to be finished by Feb. 1, 2014. Please do not be shy about discussing this proposal. Feel free also to distribute information about it widely and to offer translations and/or paraphrases. -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The XQuery Summer Institute is designed for scholars with basic experience marking up texts who would like to acquire advanced skills in how to query and computationally analyze XML documents. We welcome applications from archivists, faculty members, librarians, alt-ac professionals, and advanced graduate students. Over the course of two weeks, we will teach you how to program in XQuery, a language designed for querying and manipulating XML documents. You will leave the Institute knowing how to maximize the value of your XML encoding. The Institute will take place from Monday, June 9 to Friday, June 20 in 2014 on the campus of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. It will be led by six instructors with experience in the digital humanities (see http://xqueryinstitute.org/instructors), including Jonathan Robie, Lead Editor of the XQuery and XPath specifications at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). There are no registration costs to the Institute thanks to generous support from the Office of Digital Humanities at the National Endowment for the Humanities (see the announcement of Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities http://www.neh.gov/divisions/odh/grant- ... -july-2013). We will also provide subventions for participants? travel, lodging, and meals. Participation is limited to twelve. Applications are due by February 14, 2014. Please join us! Take your XML skills to the next level in Nashville this summer. For information about the Institute and the application process, see http://xqueryinstitute.org/. Questions? Please email Clifford Anderson, Director for Scholarly Communications, at Vanderbilt University: clifford.anderson@vanderbilt.edu. Best, David David A.

Those of you who use Twitter may have noticed this post on the emergence of Russian DH: http://infolet.it/2013/12/11/dh-in-russia-prove-di-dialogo-epistemologico/ The author is Ilaria Niero, a Master student who is working with me on a thesis on the digital encoding of a Russian manuscript by Nobel Prize writer Ivan Bunin. She is looking for more information about Russian DH and especially people working on the encoding of Russian manuscripts. We'd both be very grateful for any suggestion!
