Open Office and Word
by Dan O'Donnell 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Hi all, I just heard news that shook my lack of faith in mankind. Does anybody know if it is true that Word reads Open Office files? I'm fully linux, and so don't have access to word anywhere. For years I've been dutifully converting my OO files to .doc format for exchange. But if you can open OO files in word natively, I'll start educating word users of this fact and send the native .odt format. -dan

04 Feb '09

Digital Classicist Work-in-Progress Seminars (London, 2009) Call for Presentations The Digital Classicist will once more be running a series of Work-in-Progress seminars in Summer 2009, on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component. We are especially interested in work that involves equal collaboration with a computer scientist or that would be considered serious research in the Computing field as well as Classics, Archaeology, and/or Ancient History. The Work-in-Progress seminars run on Friday afternoons from June to August in Senate House, London, and are sponsored by the Institute for Classical Studies (UofL), the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (KCL), the Centre for e-Research (KCL), and the British Library. In previous years collected papers from the DC WiP seminars have been published in a special issue of an online journal (2006), edited as a printed volume (2007), and released as audio podcasts (2008); we anticipate similar publication opportunities for future series. Please send a 300-500 word abstract to gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk by March 31st 2009. We shall announce the full programme in April.
