Very nice to hear from you, Gurpreet, and from everyone doing introductions. I'm Neil Fraistat from the University of Maryland in the United States, where I am a Professor of English and Director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH). I am currently Chair of the ADHO Steering Committee and Co-Chair of centerNet.
I would be happy to speak off list with Gurpreet and anyone else who is thinking about setting up a dh center or institute, especially those who are trying to do so beyond North America.

Hello Everyone on the List
I am Gurpreet Singh from INDIA. Being fairly large country, just to narrow it down, I belong to Punjab in north of India. Currently I am Assistant Professor in CSE at Lovely Professional University, Punjab, INDIA.
Fairly new to the area of DH, I came into contact with DH while studying Corpus Linguistics at Trinity College Dublin. Prior to that I am mainly a DIGITAL person (D of DH) with background in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Computational Linguistics.
My main area of interest is Lexicography for historical and religious texts. Prior to attending DH2012, Hamburg and ESU-C&T, Leipzig and meeting fellow DHumanists there I was thinking there may not be many share my ideas. To my surprise and delight I found quite a few people who were rather interested and appreciated my ideas. Since then I have already received offer for PhD research on my proposal on the same topic.
I am hoping to set up DH Institue in my University and would welcome any suggestion and help about the same.

Dear list,
My name is Ųyvind Eide. I work a the Unit for Digital Documentation at the University of Oslo and just finished a PhD in Digital Humanities at King's College London. I am appointed from ALLC: The European Association for Digital Humanities to this SIG.
On reason for my interest in this group is a long time involvement in lexicography in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and also a first nation perspective in my research, where I use historical sources with a strong link to the Sami nation.
I could have written this in Norwegian as well, but we are so anglicised in Scandinavia it is hardly any point...

Dear colleagues, My name is Elie Dannaoui, Assistant Professor at the University of Balamand
- Lebanon. I would like to thank you for facilitating these types of
communications and reflections. Just few words about my research interests and activities. Few years ago, it was not easy for us to defend being at the same time involved in both Humanities and "Sciences". I say "defend" or maybe "justify" to describe a spontaneous attitude when questioned about having a multidisciplinary profile like cases similar to mine (doctorates in History and in Computer sciences). It seems that some implicit attitudes tend to become more explicit, and what we feel as Digital Humanists homogeneous has the chance to be seen as it is or at least not stereotyped and judged a priori as heterogeneous. I fully agree with Claire when she talks about recovering identities. Well, regarding my research interests, they are maybe a little bit far from the interests of the list members, I concentrate mainly on Arabic. My activities are oriented towards two objectives:
- Arabic digital publishing mainly of the Arabic heritage. This field
remains neglected and less studied. Huge efforts still to be paid on this level to follow the efforts of standardisation and scholarly editing. 2) Arabic corpus building and analysis. Currently I work on building a corpus of the Arabic Gospels translated since the 8th century. New technologies are being used in this project and many levels of analysis are being integrated. I am sure that this community will be very helpful in supporting our efforts in promoting Digital Humanities in Arabic studies and among Arabists and Arabic scholars. Best regards, Elie
