This conversation about this letter raises an interesting question: what outputs can we ascribe to GO::DH over the last two years?
Alex gave a lecture to my DH class a few weeks back and mentioned some of the initiatives that can be attributed to or associated with GO::DH, and it was quite a list. AroundDH, for example. But also a number of things that were going to happen anyway, but perhaps picked up an extra kick from our existence. I would argue that the field's interest in globalisation and especially its willingness to locate itself outside of North America and Western Europe has not been hurt by our existence at any rate and might well be partially ascribed to it.
As we get ready to pursue funding for more GO::DH activities, I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to see if we can compile a list of activities and outputs that could be in some way said to be associated with, inspired by, motivated by, encouraged through, or so on our collective. It might be interesting to have such a list so that we can point to it when we do ask for funding.
The political question, however, is going to be not to be greedy about it and to recognise that saying "associated with GO::DH" is not the same thing as "couldn't/wouldn't have happened without it" or "not really the work of its alleged PI or author."
So my question: if you think back over the last two years, are there activities you've engaged in, talks you've given, partnerships or projects you've begun, articles you've written that were in some way impacted by or enabled through your participation in GO::DH? Did you meet new research partners through GO::DH? Did you have new ideas? Have you taught new classes?
In my case, for example, I can think without much effort of the following, the following things that I've been involved in organising or authoring. And I think there might be more if I look harder:

How about others?
I wonder if we shouldn't collect them!
