The preliminary schedule for the conference “Sustainable data from digital fieldwork: from creation to archive and back” is now up. There looks to be some really interesting projects on display. I had a sneak peek at EOPAS, a project to create a workflow and display interlinearised texts, and annodex, a project to display multiple streams of visual, audio and textual data, both of which look great. I’ll also be talking about the FieldHelper tool I’ve been working on this year, a tool to add in the tagging of arbitrary metadata to field work data, amongst other things.
Our registration quota of 40 places is fast filling up. Please register now if you wish to come, also note that you can choose to come to the third day workshop if your interest in more in practical experience with current digital field work tools.

Here at Endangered Languages and Cultures, we fully welcome your opinion, questions and comments on any post, and all posts will have an active comments form. However if you have never commented before, your comment may take some time before it is approved. Subsequent comments from you should appear immediately.
We will not edit any comments unless asked to, or unless there have been html coding errors, broken links, or formatting errors. We still reserve the right to censor any comment that the administrators deem to be unnecessarily derogatory or offensive, libellous or unhelpful, and we have an active spam filter that may reject your comment if it contains too many links or otherwise fits the description of spam. If this happens erroneously, email the author of the post and let them know. And note that given the huge amount of spam that all WordPress blogs receive on a daily basis (hundreds) it is not possible to sift through them all and find the ham.
In addition to the above, we ask that you please observe the Gricean maxims:
Be relevant
That is, stay reasonably on topic.
Be truthful
This goes without saying; don’t give us any nonsense.
Be concise
Say as much as you need to without being unnecessarily long-winded.
Be perspicuous
This last one needs no explanation.
We permit comments and trackbacks on our articles. Anyone may comment. Comments are subject to moderation, filtering, spell checking, editing, and removal without cause or justification.
All comments are reviewed by comment spamming software and by the site administrators and may be removed without cause at any time. All information provided is volunteered by you.

Any chance of podcasting or streaming the conference for us poor people stuck marking final exams on the other side of the world :)?
As a matter of fact, yes! I literally got off the phone with APSR an hour ago, who are keen to podcast the series. We just have to work on releases.
All the papers will be available on DSpace at Sydney Uni library, and SUPress, who are publishing a volume from these paper, will do print on demand.
