Hello List,
At Kzoo next year there are at least three groups sponsoring a total of five sessions with an electronic focus - Digital Medievalist, the Oxford Text Archive, and Research in Computing for Humanities. Dan O'Donnell and I were discussing the problem of market saturation that might come from having so many similar sessions, and he suggested that we look into organizing a mini DM conference-within-a-conference for next year's (2006) Kalamazoo Congress. This would bring together all the various people who regularly organize digital sessions and sell them to the Congress organizers as a group. The Institute for Cistercian Studies at Western Michigan has been doing something similar for years (as long as the Congress itself, I believe) with great success. I think this is a super idea - what do others think?

P.S. RCH is still accepting proposals (send them to me at dporter@uky.edu); I'll also put in a word for the OTA (contact James Cummings: James.Cummings@oucs.ox.ac.uk) and the DM (contact Murray McGillivray: mmcgilli@ucalgary.ca), though I don't know if they still have space. Deadline for submission is the 15 September!

I agree, that would great. But were you thinking of Kzoo 2005 or 2006? Can we organize it for Kzoo 2005?
Ciao
To be honest, I was just thinking of maybe organising a meeting (black swan-style dinner?) for computer oriented medievalists at K'zoo this coming year. Then we could coordinate session proposals for 2006 (and have another dinner). What say?

Could I also point out that there are a number of other sub-discipline digital technology related sessions as well that are planned.
For example, the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society is doing a roundtable/session (depending on number of speakers) on Technology and Early Drama. I'm sure there are others.
What I would suggest is that after the conference programme is finalised the DM project attempt to contact the session organiser or paper presenter for any session/paper that looks like it is concerned with computer technology in one way or another. Perhaps if we submit a list of sessions/papers the conference organisers might be willing to give us back a list of email addresses from the database. (Hrmm... maybe not) Then set up a meeting one suppertime where we can all meet and plan what we want to do for the following year. We can of course try to get this meeting in the programme, and if so, now is the time to do it.
My two pence, -James

One of things I'd really wanted to do in the end was arrange an alternating dinner/meeting: one year in K'zoo, the other in Leeds. That is of course an ambitious step and may be a dinner too far, but I think it might be nice. This wouldn't rule out organising sessions together at both conferences; it would just affect the business meeting.

Just not to leave those running linux out, they may be interested in gnome's 'gucharmap'. (If running debian unstable: just 'apt-get install gucharmap' to get it and install it). Nice graphic display, browsing, searching, etc.
The description is as follows: Unicode character picker and font browser. This program allows you to browse through all the available Unicode characters and categories for the installed fonts, and to examine their detailed properties. It is an easy way to find the character you might only know by its Unicode name or code point.

I can't believe this fabulous little utility has been sitting on my hard drive all these months and I haven't noticed it. Thank you, James!

I thought I'd take a look at this, so I down-loaded it. Then after I unzipped it, I got a message from the program telling me I had to let it rewrite part of my OS before it could run! Of course I deleted the thing at once. That isn't the way things ought to work....
I just reinstalled it on my system from your link and had no problem. I'll pass this on to Conal and see if he knows what the answer is. -dan
