Junicode 0.7.2
by Peter Baker 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Another release of Junicode, the font for medievalists. This one tightens up the spacing of uppercase diacritics so as to get closer line spacing in certain Windows applications. Other changes are mainly technical/quality control. Get it at http://junicode.sourceforge.net (choose from TrueType, WOFF and source files) If any user cares to leave a comment at the Junicode site, I'd appreciate it. The font gets its share of "likes," but the only comment there complains about the line spacing, which has now been fixed. Thanks! Peter Baker

Decoding Digital Humanities (London)
by Richard Lewis 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

We're very pleased to announce that Decoding Digital Humanities (London) is re-starting its regular discussion meetings on: * Tuesday 31 January 18:30 * at The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A 1LH. For this first meeting we will be discussing the Digital Humanities Manifesto: http://tcp.hypotheses.org/411 Decoding Digital Humanities began as an informal series of pub meetings organised by the Centre for Digital Humanities at UCL. It has since expanded with several international chapters but still retains its informal atmosphere. You will be very welcome to join us for a drink and to discuss all things DH. We look forward to seeing you there. Best, Richard -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken(a)jabber.earth.li http://www.richardlewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Fwd: [SDH/SEMI Exec] SOPA/PIPA
by O'Donnell, Dan 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

A number of DH sites are planning to go dark tomorrow in support of resistance to SOPA, and in solidarity with other sites like the wikipedia that are planning the same thing. The attached email from Stéfan Sinclair to the exec. of two of them explains why and how. This is short notice, but I'd like to propose that DM do the same thing tomorrow. And encourage as many of you as possible to do the same thing to your own sites. While SOPA is 'an American mess', it proposes extending itself to sites 'aimed' at America too--giving it considerable international scope. Sent from my Samsung Captivate(tm) on Rogers Dear all, It's a bit last minute, but I wonder if there any strong sentiments about having our association website go dark tomorrow. Personally, I'm not quite as keen as I might have been if the proposed legislation hadn't received some significant blows more recently, but as many have pointed out, it would be foolish to relax. Does the ACH want to join ranks with sites like Wikipedia tomorrow? This is ostensibly an American mess, but of course we would be deeply affected; see Michael Geist's post on the topic: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6244/125/ Technically, there are several possibilities, one of which would be to put an Apache directive to return a temporary 503 error response, which I could take care of if there support.

Junicode 0.7.1
by Peter Baker 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Yet another release of Junicode, the font for medievalists. There were significant problems with some Windows apps in version 0.7. These have now been fixed in version 0.7.1; all Windows users should update their copies. But there are other incremental improvements as well, so OS X and Linux users may as well update. Be sure to delete the old version before installing the new: there have been some file name and font name changes, and so failure to delete the old copy will surely cause problems.

Interedition: Symposium 'Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure', Deadline extension: 29 January 2012
by Joris van Zundert 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

---------------------------- * Apologies for potential cross posting * Please distribute freely and widely === Deadline Extension: deadline Sun 29 January 2012 (23.59 GMT+1) === We are extending the deadline of the call below to a final definite date and time of Sunday 29 January 2012, 23.59 GMT+1. Apologies for confusing the community with being 'a year off' in the initial call, we hope this wasn't reason for anyone not to submit: we do stress the symposium is indeed taking place from 19-20 March 2012. === Call for Papers: Scholarly Digital Editions, Tools and Infrastructure === == Interedition - An Interoperable Supranational Infrastructure for Digital Editions == == 19-20 March 2012, Huygens ING, The Hague, The Netherlands == Huygens ING is pleased to host a symposium to mark the achievements of Interedition, COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action IS0704. This event will also serve as a springboard for further work based on the principles of interoperability promoted by Interedition within the domain of digital scholarly editing and research. One of the key objectives of Interedition has been to produce a ‘roadmap’ conceptualizing the development of a technical infrastructure for collaborative digital preparation, editing, publication, analysis and visualization of literary research materials. Interedition has approached the problem of interoperable infrastructure from the perspectives of methodology, technology, and community. At present Interedition is realizing the ‘nuts and bolts’ of a bottom-up generalizable architecture, focusing on the development community and the prototyping of distributed lightweight services. This grassroots approach is emerging from the ‘engine rooms’ where Web 2.0 digital editions are being built and promises a generalizable and viable approach to collaborative digital humanities tool building. Creators and/or users of tools for textual scholarship are invited to submit paper proposals dealing with tools and methodologies that promote, exemplify, and otherwise address the issues of interoperability and sustainability in the field of digital scholarly editing and research. In particular, we encourage papers which address, but are not limited to the following areas: * Development and application of tools to achieve interoperability and sustainability in the arena of digital textual scholarship * Development methodology and the problem of bottom-up versus top-down approaches * Development and application of tools for digital scholarly editions * Theoretical and practical problems of digital editing and scholarly information exchange * Community and user aspects of interoperability in textual scholarship * Crowd sourcing solutions * Architectural approaches towards interoperability for tools in digital scholarship * Digital techniques and methodologies from scholars working on textual data in the humanities Speakers are asked to submit abstracts of 750 words. This should also include the names, titles, institutional affiliations, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all authors. Abstracts must be submitted via email to joris.van.zundert(a)huygens.knaw.nl by 15 January 2012. Please note that we will be publishing the proceedings and that contributions will be peer reviewed. A bursary scheme will be in place to facilitate travel and accommodation for selected papers. Details will be forthcoming *** Keeping true to Interedition’s principles a bootcamp oriented towards collaborative coding opportunities for researchers/developers will be attached to this symposium. More details about this will be forthcoming. *** Further details will be available at: http://www.interedition.eu/ == Symposium organizing committee == Peter Boot (Huygens Institute for the History of The Netherlands) Karina van Dalen-Oskam (Huygens Institute for the History of The Netherlands) Fotis Jannidis (Universität Würzburg) Kathryn E.
