#sustainabledse — Public Fediverse posts

🧵 2/2
It'ss also the final year of my project, #SustainableDSE, & our challenge is to run a set of workshops, network meetings, the encoding lab & the closing conference without operating funds, aside from a 50% project assistant & my 50% PI role.
Creative solutions are needed in an organisation that has become so bloated with administrative regulations that even the smallest task becomes a bureaucratic nightmare.
Still hope we can keep our creative energy up!
Let's see what 2026 has to offer –

2/ I will lose my role as a team lead for digital methods. I keep some old colleagues in my new section and get some new ones. I don't know what the future and the new organisation will bring for my project, #SustainableDSE
I have a hard time with change (#autistic #brain), and I will have to get used to two new leaders, one of whom hasn't yet been hired.
We might even move office (again).

And I didn't post for the other days, because we did too much and I got too exhausted!

Nevertheless, I would say the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE was a success 🙌 !

Proud and enthused by the final presentations: how much participants learned & explored in only a week, most of them starting from scratch, never having seen an XML file or the #TEIGuidelines. They used both #TEIPublisher & #EVT for publication.

💻 We will follow up with a weekly #EncodingLab, open for all in the Oslo area!

Exhausted, but happy after the 2nd day of the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE is over!

After introducing the #TEIGuidelines and other community standards, such as #EpiDoc, #MENOTA, and #DTABf, we explored project encoding documentation and guidelines together with our team of instructors: Elli Mylonas, Floriane Chiffoleau, Roberto Rosselli DelTurco, Renato Caenaro, Karl Farrugia, Chantal Pivetta, and me.

Inspired by our participants' enthusiasm!

1st day of the #OsloSummerSchool for #SustainableDSE successfully ended!

After an intro to Digital Scholarly Editions and the role of Sustainability, we familiarised ourselves w/ #XML and the #OxygenXMLEditor.
Tomorrow, we will explore the #TEIGuidelines and other community standards like #EpiDoc and #Menota

With 16 participants from a wide array of disciplines, 7 instructors from all over the world, and perfect Oslo autumn weather, it feels like a deluxe retreat for nerds and geeks :)

🧬⌛ Well, it turns out that I cannot clone myself nor travel through time…

💬 The analysis of 17 90-minute interviews on practices of scholarly editions will have to be extended. There is no chance I can get this done by June.

💼 I will instead prioritise hiring a new student assistant who will start in August and organise a social event for the #SustainableDSE network.

✉️ And work on the presentation for the upcoming conference on #Briefkulturen #LetterCultures #Correspondences in Berlin.

📣 We are hosting the first #SustainableDSE summer school from 22 to 26 September 2025 for people in Oslo and Norway.

💬 All done!
I have just conducted the final interview in our series on (digital) scholarly editing practices.

My team and I have conducted 17 interviews over nine months, mapping the status quo of scholarly editing at the University of Oslo and other Oslo-based cultural heritage and higher education institutions.

Now, it's time to analyse and write the report, which will inform our feasibility study for building and implementing an infrastructure for #SustainableDSE at the University Library.

"From Stick to Screen - Digital Editions of Runic Inscriptions as Research Tools"
Elisabeth set out to create the technological framework allowing staff at the Runic Archives to create a born-digital, interactive and open-access edition of runic inscriptions from medieval Norway.

Brought to you by #SustainableDSE network!

The #SustainableDSE network at #UniOslo hosted a talk by Jens Erlend Braarvig from the Norwegian Institute of Philology about the #BibliothecaPolyglotta corpus of editions.
I wrote a short 📝 blog post on our website https://dsenetwork.hypotheses.org/275. There's much more to say! But that will be part of a longer publication, to be expected somewhen after summer next year.
Stay tuned and check out the ☸️ 🕋 ✝️ multilingual library of major religious texts that is Bibliotheca Polyglotta https://www2.hf.uio.no/polyglotta/index.php.

@raphaelaheil Thank you again for your wonderful presentation and workshops! We've written up a blog post about the events.

@AMP_OeAW @TEIConsortium
I see the importance for having an on-site event, especially for the regional community. But I do not understand why there cannot be remote participation. I was considering submitting a paper about our #SustainableDSE skills hub and network, however, without remote presentation/participation, this is out of the question.
