GO::DH Conference Committee: Volunteers wanted
by Daniel O'Donnell 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

Hi all, In the GO::DH spirit of things, we are planning this year to try creating a rolling GO::DH paraconference. What this means is that we are thinking of organising sessions at other existing conferences focussing on themes we are interested in, where this is possible and our proposals are acceptable to the organisers. To get the ball rolling for 2015-2016, we are forming a conference committee under the co-chairs Barbara Bordalejo and Roopika Risam. The first tasks of this committee will be developing some session proposals for DH 2016 Kraków (Deadline November 1) and the Second Federated Congress on Digital Heritage (Alahambra). This committee will monitor conference calls, develop themes for GO::DH-focussed sessions, and plan, recruit, and where relevant adjudicate submissions for GO::DH sessions at the relevant conferences. If you would be interested in serving on this committee (it is open to any member of the GO::DH mailing list), please contact Barbara Bordalejo ( barbara.bordalejo(a)kuleuven.be) or Roopika Risam (rrisam(a)gmail.com) by Wednesday 23 September (i.e. next Wednesday). Once the committee is in in place, it will develop themes and issue the necessary calls for papers. -dan

Promotion & sustainability of Digital Humanities project sites
by Katie Hannan 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Hi All, I've been reading posts from this list for a while but haven't posted before. My name is Katie Hannan, hello! I'm a data librarian, online projects person, in Adelaide, South Australia and I'm currently working as a time-share data librarian at Flinders University, Education, Humanities and Law Faculty and eResearch SA <http://www.ersa.edu.au/>. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has a promotional strategy for their Digital Humanities projects. Do you build it and hope that they will come? Do you build it, promote it and then shove it in a corner and forget about it when the next lot of grant funding comes through? Do you have any reporting requirements for operational DH sites or any requirement to monitor access and use? I am working on some project documentation for some new DH projects, but when I moved into this role I inherited some DH projects that are now in operational stage. They're just ticking along nicely in the background, but may need some system upgrades in the future, but the grant money is long finished. I'd like to hear your thoughts on what happens when the grant money runs out, the project is launched and then....? What happens when the software doesn't work as well as it should? When there's security holes in older versions of content management systems. Thanks! Katie -- Katie Hannan eResearch Project Officer, Cultural Collections, Flinders University katie.hannan(a)flinders.edu.au | @katykat <http://www.twitter.com/katykat> http://bit.ly/eRDSA-D4CCR
