DM Bylaws (final vote)
by James Cummings 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Dear DM-l subscriber, Apologies for the delay in posting this vote, we discussed the comments that the community submitted and made only very minor changes to the proposed bylaw modifications. Also we've had some problems with the DM website recently, which hopefully should now be rectified. If you have a look at http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/bylaws-new.html to see the proposed modifications to the bylaws, and then please go vote on whether you accept them at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RS2CWQL It is a very simple yes/no/abstain vote, and will pass as long as at least two-thirds of recorded votes have voted yes. (Though we'd hope that most of you would vote yes.) The survey will be open until the 1 November. Many thanks for your cooperation, -James Cummings Digital Medievalist, Director

4th Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies--This Weekend!!
by Lynn Ransom 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Registration is open for the 4th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: Writing the East: History and New Technologies in the Study of Asian Manuscript Traditions, to be held October 21-22, 2011 at the University of Pennsylvania and the Free Library of Philadelphia. This year, our focus is on medieval and early modern Asian manuscript traditions. Together with Justin McDaniel, University of Pennsylvania professor of Religious Studies, Penn Libraries are pleased to present a distinguished panel of speakers who will explore a range of issues relating to Asian reading and writing cultures, especially as they pertain to manuscripts from the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian traditions. An addition to the program this year is the Friday afternoon workshop: Bringing Out the Best from Your Collections: Ask the Experts!, to be held Friday, October 21, 2-5 pm, at the Free Library of Philadelphia (Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St, Philadelphia, PA, Room 108). This workshop is geared especially toward librarians and curators who oversee collections of Asian manuscript material but is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about caring for and interpreting these fascinating and often little understood objects. For more information on the symposium and workshop and for registration, go to http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium4.html . You may also contact me at anytime for further information or with questions. Best, Lynn ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Project Manager, Lawrence J.

Participants in Workshops or Tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well, paying the regular registration fee. There will be additional fees of roughly 40-50 Euros per half-day for participants in tutorials and workshops, with a minimum attendance of approximately 10 participants each, in order to ensure that these events cover their own costs. The deadline for submitting proposals to the Program Committee is November 1, 2011. All submissions will be refereed. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by December 15, 2011. See below for full details on submitting proposals.

Information for new users is available at the ConfTool site. If anyone has forgotten their user name or password, please contact <paul.spence(a)kcl.ac.uk>. V. Information about the conference venue Hamburg on the river Elbe has about 1.8 million inhabitants within the city limits, making the old Hanseatic merchant city Germany's second largest metropolis. Hamburg is characterized by its port, its international orientation and a cosmopolitan flair. The University of Hamburg was founded in 1919. Today the Faculty of the Humanities is home to over 10,000 students. Since its inception Hamburg University has maintained a strong focus on foreign languages and cultures. To foster and to explore such diversity is a key task of the Humanities - and to provide theories, methods and tools to this end poses a particularly interesting challenge to the Digital Humanities. We hope you will join in the discussion on "Digital Diversity" at the DH2012 and look forward to seeing you in Hamburg! VI.
