Dear TEIers, As you know already, the TEI conference will take place this year in Würzburg (Germany) from 13 to 15 October (preceded by workshops and tutorials). It is a major event for our community as it is the possibility for all of you to exchange your ideas and experience in using the TEI guidelines, as well as providing feedback and proposals on making the TEI technical environment evolve to serve digital scholarship even better. Indeed, the TEI has become an essential aspect for any text-based research in the humanities and our user community grows everyday quicker. The conference should be able to reflect this variety by bringing together both experienced eHumanists and more traditional scholars looking for digital answers to their research questions. You will find below the call for paper, which will soon be followed by a call for workshops and tutorials. Pleas do not hesitate to spread the word further on your favorite social networks. I am looking forward to see you all in Würzburg, Laurent Romary +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for papers and proposals Philology in the Digital Age 2011 Annual Conference and Members’ Meeting of the TEI Consortium University of Würzburg, Germany http://www.zde.uni-wuerzburg.de/tei_mm_2011/ * Deadline for submissions: May 1st, 2011 * Meeting dates: Wed 12 October to Sat 15 October, 2011 * Workshop dates: Mon 10 October to Wed 12 October, 2011 (see separate call) The Program Committee of the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI - www.tei-c.org) Consortium invites individual paper proposals, panel sessions, poster sessions, and tool demonstrations particularly, but not exclusively, on digital texts, scholarly editing or any topic that applies TEI to its research.
