Meeting minutes
<norm> Regrets also from Elisa Beshero-Bondar who plans to join the CG but can't this week.
<norm> Elisa also writes: Would an ixml presentation at the end of this week be of interest to announce to the group? One of my seniors, Hadleigh Jae Bills, is presenting this Friday on her senior project–in which she applied ixml (after learning it in one week!) to a famous transliteration of the Voynich manuscript, to convert it (with an XSLT step afterwards) to TEI. Presentation date / time: Friday 5/1 @ 12:30pm Eastern Daylight Time: should be
<norm> at 5:30pm in London. Schedule details on how to join by Zoom registration: https://
<norm> And also: The event starts at noon EDT (or 5pm London). The first two hours could be of interest as some other projects also applied ixml in the following hour from my Digit 210 class, just not so extensively as that first one.
