Dear All,
It is my greatest pleasure to announce that the web interface that manages the submissions (i.e. conftool) is finally up and running: you can upload your abstracts of papers, posters and workshops here:
http://www.tei-c.org/conftool/
If you have already an existing conftool account from previous TEI conferences you will be able to use the same, otherwise, please register in order to upload your submission.
Just a kind reminder: the deadline for submission is the *31st of May*.
Thank you very much for your patience and apologies if this delay has caused you any trouble.
All best wishes
For the International Programme Committee

This is to let you know that the deadline for the submission of papers
for the ESTS conference ‘Editing Fundamentals: Historical and Literary
Paradigms in Source Editing’ (Amsterdam, November 22-24, 2012) has been
extended. Proposals should be submitted before June 1, 2012. Decisions
about acceptance will be communicated before July 1, 2012.
The 9th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship will
be an international academic forum for communication between different
approaches to historical and literary source editing. Edited source
texts, documents and databases are essential to literary, political,
historical scholarship, as well as to social studies, art history,
music, philosophy or theology. The conference aims at bringing together
academics working in disciplines that have so far worked within
independently operating scholarly traditions, promoting innovative,
multidisciplinary exchange and dialogue. The conference will examine the
transformation of traditional editorial practice into a digital
environment and the creation of innovative opportunities like the use of
digital tools and media.
Scholars of any discipline related to editing texts and data nowadays
have at their disposal almost limitless possibilities to present texts
and data to the public. Traditionally reflection and practice show
seemingly different approaches to textual scholarship and documentary
editing of historical sources. The aim of this conference is to debate
these topics and to strive for a common approach towards the challenges
of publishing. Key concepts are heuristic, selection, representativeness
and presentation to the user.
The conference is organized by the European Society for Textual
Scholarship (ESTS) and the Huygens Institute for the History of the
Netherlands (Huygens ING), a Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and
Sciences institute.
Keynote speakers:
Manfred Thaller (University of Cologne)
Godfried Croenen (University of Liverpool)
Andrew Jewell (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)
For all other information about the conference, see

The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) will be holding a
roundtable session at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at 10
AM on Friday, May 11. We'll be in Fetzer 2040.
*What is MESA?*
MESA is a federation of electronic medieval studies projects that provides
a portal allowing the simultaneous searching of all member projects and
provides peer review of electronic scholarship in the field of medieval
studies. It is a sister federation of the Networked Infrastructure for
Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship (NINES) <http://www.nines.org/>and
18thConnect <http://www.18thconnect.org/>, and will be linked to both of
these federations, allowing users to search any of the federations
separately or in any combination.
*How does MESA work?*
MESA runs on Collex, an open-source collections- and exhibits-builder that
is also the basis of NINES and 18thConnect. It uses Resource Description
Framework (RDF) files that make data from member sites discoverable and
cross-searchable. A good overview of how Collex works can be found on the
NINES site at http://www.nines.org/about/software/collex/
MESA will be launching later this year and is partnering with NINES and
18thConnect to build a larger meta-federation called ARC. Representatives
from MESA, NINES, and ARC will be on the panel, and we are hoping to get
feedback from the community as we plan our launch. Hope to see you there!

A Ph.D. in informatics or computing sciences, or a PhD. in a humanities subject together with expertise in the digital humanities is required.
