Hey, anyone looking for a #website, either #personal or to house an #academic project? @RyanChartier builds and maintains #MinimalComputing sites that run on #Jekyll - they are #secure, #EnergyEfficient, and don't rely on #plugins owned by other corporations. Check out his site at blog.ryan-chartier.net/ - he built my website and then handed me the reins and I'm very happy to have full control over my official page.

Ich hatte heute den großen Spaß eine Keynote mit dem Titel "Do it yourself (but not alone) and KISS!" beim 6. #DHDayRUB halten zu dürfen.

Meine Slides sind hier tillgrallert.github.io/slides/ und morgen ist noch ein ganzer Tag mit spannenden Workshops zu u.a. #Recogito und kontrolierten Vokabularen, an dem mensch auch spontan via Videolink teilnehmen kann.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with creating a very basic system for publishing #CulturalHeritage #Collections based on the #StaticSiteGenerator #Pelican. Think #Wax or #CollectionBuilder, but way less polished. It’s not a product, it’s an exercise in #MinimalComputing and a proof-of-concept. Since it now has a home on GitHub and basic documentation, I thought I could also share it for people to tinker with. #DigitalHumanities

at the #CrossingFonds symposium, Joey Takeda (SFU) just gave an interesting talk about long-term sustainability of the web-based results generated during #DigitalHumanities projects.

a key take-away is to make sure that all results are made accessible for any type of web server—and the key to make this practically happen is to make it "static from the start".

The Endings Project spells out some more useful principles and recommendations:

I attended a webinar on CinemaScience cinemascience.github.io/ , an app/environment for rendering large-scale 3D visualizations (i.e. ones too big to render on your workstation in real time). It's basically Wax for 3D: it pre-renders all the views (for different angles, values of parameters, etc.), so that a browser (or its python viewer) is powerful enough to render a view where you can rotate, push sliders to change your parameters, etc. Nifty! #MinimalComputing training.westdri.ca/tools/visu

about time i made an #Introduction post! my theory & practice of lib* work is focused on civic engagement & #OpenAccess, supporting new models of #DigitalPublishing & #ScholComm in #DigitalHumanities & across the disciplines.

i believe in the principles of #MinimalComputing and engage them in my personal work, as well as the digital projects that make up the majority of my departmental portfolio. #Accessibility, when built-in rather than bolted-on, creates better projects & outcomes for all. 1/2

Continued thread

My talk was on "(Re)Considering Digital Preservation 10 Years after Bamboo", the Mellon-funded cyberinfrastructure planning project where I got my start. There's a lot to be happy about: the emergence of disciplinary repositories for the humanities like @hcommons.social CORE, the move towards , the tendency to think about DH projects as data that can be archived, not just pretty websites. (Yeah that's @miriamkp as a data superhero.)
