[CLARIN-OH] CLARIN Oral History workshop: follow-up

[Martin Wynne]

Dear Participants,

Many thanks again to all of you for your excellent input into what was, 
I think, a very interesting and useful workshop. As we discussed in 
Oxford, the workshop is only the start of a number of collaborative 
activities, where we try to put into practice many of the ideas. As some 
of you will know, the experiment to carry out forced alignment on a 
number of OH recordings and to align text and audio in different 
languages is already well underway, and the participants will soon be 
able to post some results, and a 'how-to'.

To facilitate this and the other ongoing collaborations, we have created 
an email discussion list (oral-history at lists.clarin.eu), and Arjan has 
set up a folder on the Google Drive, at the following location:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2G6WZS1ASJMVTB2QnF5WFNkbjA

You should be able to see a document there summarizing the outcomes and 
proposed actions from the meeting. Since we don't know which google or 
other account you would like to use to access this, please request 
access for your chosen account when you would like to edit one of the 
pages there, and we'll grant you permission.

Please feel free to post to this list relevant information and 
contributions to the discussions. I have also included on the email list 
two other people, who were not able to attend the workshop due to other 
commitments, but who are keen to participate in ongoing actions. Both 
provided summaries of their interests and activities in the 'Input from 
participants' document:

  Christoph Draxler, Institut für Phonetik und Sprachverarbeitung, LMU 
München (draxler at phonetik.uni-muenchen.de)
  Gabor Toth, University of Passau and German Historical Institute  
(gabor.toth at maximilianeum.de)

We'll circulate more information soon once we have decided on a 
procedure for gathering information for the registry of archives in 
Europe, and once the videos of the lectures are online. If anyone wants 
to drop off the discussion list at any point, please feel free to follow 
the instructions to unsubscribe, or just get in touch with me.

Best wishes,
Martin
