Post meeting minute cleanup by: GB

Agenda items:

• Approve May minutes: approved

• Any remaining business from ticket sprint in June?

• Ticket Czar (LL) chased up tickets we didn’t get to. Not clear if anyone acted on her nudge or not.

• All tickets should be given milestone of “9.2” or “future” (and ownership confirmed or reassigned)

• Schedule next release (9.2)

• The last release (9.1) was on 26th October 2019

• (Next TEI release due mid-Aug 2020, so we will inherit content from that)

• Provisional release date of Tuesday, October 13th, 2020.

• Working backwards (as per https://sourceforge.net/p/epidoc/wiki/ReleaseProc/)

• Candidate release: Thurs Oct 8

• Feature freeze and call for testing: Mon Oct 5

• Last call for edits: Mon Sep 28

• Announce release schedule: Mon Sep 14 (Just before the next EDAG call, conveniently!)

• Release technician: IV has volunteered (to be supported by key-holders esp. for Stoa needs)

• New EpiDoc urls and official address (https://epidoc.stoa.org/) (TE)

• Virtual host on leased server supported financially by ISAW. 

• Changes to URLs and redirect rules - old URLs (e.g. in SF wiki) now redirect to new site. (global rule: www.stoa.org/epidoc/* -> epidoc.stoa.org/*)

• Managing robots.txt files to encourage indexing of the right stuff, not the old stuff; search results returning new URLs, ecc.

• ACTION: update Release Process to reflect new arrangement, and new processes for credentials and permissions. (SJD has added his edits to the document)

• EpiDogito (repo) (GB)

• Rainer Simon + GB working Recogito export with valid Epidoc. Nothing to see yet, coming soon. Should be nice for visibility, and an example of cross-project/tool collaboration.

• EFES (standing agenda item)

• Sustainability (+optics) (FAQ)

• This page attempts to answer common objections to the platform and dependencies of EFES. Feedback would be welcome.

• It would be especially useful to know how convincing a response to skepticism this page is. What other doubts should we address? Email EFES user group with any feedback if you can (or Gabby or EDAG list if you prefer)

• There are currently (at least) three funding bids in, that would involve new EFES development if funded

• ICS EpiDoc page (link) (GB)

• Mostly local Epidoc activities (GB, SS, colleagues)

• Model for other institutions and departments. 

• EpiDoc DCWiki sprint? And Wikipedia update? (GB)

• GB would like any/all Epidoc projects to be present on DCWiki. 

• Do we want to organize a wiki sprint around EpiDoc activities and projects?

• Wikipedia - please improve the page. (We should feel ok to edit, as long as we adhere to citation practices.)

• Epigraphic Ontology group (epont) (PL)

• This list now combines older discussion with Epigraphy.info ontology action group from last workshop. PL’s latest email reports state of play and suggests actions.

• *ALL*: Please do engage with Pietro’s email!

• Greek Academy and other remote workshops - workshop progress ?

• How shall we think about communicating about remote workshops?

• Teach asynchronously?

• Issue of payment/honoraria for trainers (in lieu of travel expenses!)

• Outstanding tickets:

• LL will email again with a deadline of the end of this month: either unassign oneself or add comment that they are live

• GB will check tickets and ping reprobates after the end of July. A few tickets were unassigned, and will remain attached to milestone:”future” until someone adopts them.

• Possible ticket sprint in August/Sept, unless that work can be done offlist… (*hard* deadline of Oct 5 for development).
