Call for Bids: TEI Members Meeting, Fall 2008.
by Herdsman Caedmon 08 May '07

08 May '07

Call for Bids: TEI Members Meeting, 2008 Deadline: August 1, 2008 The annual TEI Members' Meeting takes place every year in October or November. We are now seeking bids to host this event in 2008. The meeting this year (2007) will take place on October 31-November 3 at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD (USA). The previous meetings have been: * Victoria, Canada, October 27-28, 2006. Hosted by the University of Victoria. * Sophia, Bulgaria, October 28-29, 2005. Hosted by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. * Baltimore, USA, October 22-23, 2004. Hosted by Johns Hopkins University. * Nancy, France, November 7-8 2003. Hosted by ATILF. * Chicago, USA, October 11-12 2002. Hosted by the Newberry Library and * Northwestern University. * Pisa, Italy, November 16-17 2001. Hosted by the University of Pisa. The site of the meeting has typically alternated between Europe and North America, but that is not a fixed rule. We welcome proposals from other parts of the world, and in particular from areas where new TEI communities are arising. This year's meeting will be a three-day event, with approximately 70-100 attendees. The first and second day will involve plenary lectures by invited speakers, round-table discussions, and conference-style session. The third day will be a closed session, restricted to TEI members and subscribers only, which includes reports on the TEI's work and the annual elections for the TEI Board and Council. Meetings of TEI Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are also scheduled for this day. Future meetings should assume roughly this shape, although there is considerable room for local initiative in consultation with the Board. The TEI Consortium covers the direct costs in connection with the meeting. As the TEI is an organisation with limited financial resources, and any contribution from the host is very welcome. Bids should be sent to info(a)tei-c.org by August 1, 2008, and should include the following information: * The name of the institution(s) making the bid * The name, address, email, and telephone number of the contact person * A brief description of the facilities available for the event (rooms, equipment, technical support, food) * An indication of what financial support, if any, the hosting institution is prepared to give (for instance, sponsoring one or more receptions or pre-meeting workshops; payment of travel expenses for one or more plenary speakers; etc.) * Any other details that may be useful in assessing the bid (e.g. the presence of a conference on a related topic at the institution around the time of the meeting; the launch of a new TEI-related initiative at the institution, etc.). All bids will be reviewed by the TEI board, which makes the final decision. Thank you very much!

Junicode 0.6.13 released
by Peter Baker 01 May '07

01 May '07

Junicode 0.6.13 is now available at http://junicode.sf.net. Here are the release notes: This release continues to add characters from the MUFI recommendation to benefit medievalists. Many messy outlines have been cleaned up, improving efficiency and reducing the likelihood of bugs. Most of the goodies in this release are for users of OpenType-aware programs such as InDesign and XeTeX: the OpenType features list has been thoroughly worked over and rationalized, and consistency imposed across all four faces (though it is still true that there are more OpenType features in Regular than in the other three). Use of ccmp, mark and mkmk has been greatly expanded, making use of combining diacritics more practical than before. Many MUFI glyphs have been made accessible via OpenType features, especially ccmp (for glyph+diacritic combination) and hlig (Historical Ligatures). Fractions, Roman numbers, subscripts and the various "Enclosed Alphanumerics" have been made accessible as ligatures (either liga, Standard Ligatures, or dlig, Discretionary Ligatures). Peter Baker
