[Wikimediauk-l] DHOXSS

2012-07-05 Thread Charles Matthews
Which is to say http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/, a summer school in digital humanities. My intuition is that we need to connect GLAM with DH as soon as possible, as one part (there are others clearly) of getting a sustainable GLAM 2.0 model. I'm not sure about how to do that, but I

I agree looks great. We do have some links to OII as we gave them the uk wiki edu of the year prize. I'm meant to be talking there in a few months. However this course looks like the kind of thing I wish I could gate crash. We do need to make sure we don't get overtaken and our valuable

Hi and thanks for the email! We're very excited about bringing this event to the UK next year and would love to talk about wikimedia involvement of any kind. I've cc'd our conference chair Steven and my fellow deputy chair Jeremy so they are in the loop. Thanks again Jo On 3 Jul 2012 23:19,

One of the problems with this is that the ROV doesn't quite exist yet. Cost would presumably be £500+ ish, and I think it's an awesome project, but it really does need a proposal (with justifications, approximate costs, possible uses) to be made to the board. We also need to ask how much the

I think there is some second guessing going on here so I'll have my guess at what Geni wants to do. It is possible to not want to dive or to take pictures but to get involved in this as an open source project. If that was the case then it may still hold water (sorry). As Richard notes, we'd

Under a pile of paperwork more likely. Sure things like HMS Hazard can be dived without permission but more interesting stuff would generally require working with a respected archaeological group or university. That said an ROV might get around the ban on HMS Hood (1891). Given that this

Hood (1891) is sunk across the breakwaters at Portland Harbour. It's visible from the shore :-) Hazard is in the English Channel, although neither are dived very often. Richard Symonds, Wikimedia UK On Jul 5, 2012 11:34 PM, Thomas Morton morton.tho...@googlemail.com wrote: Under a pile of
