Minutes of the 2011 DELPH-IN Summit business meeting

Please add and correct as necessary.

  • Two resolutions were proposed and passed:
    • “The DELPH-IN consortium wishes to thank the Suquamish tribe for their hospitality during the 2011 DELPH-IN Summit”.
    • “The DELPH-IN consortium wishes to thank the Utilika foundation for its support during the 2011 DELPH-IN Summit”.
  • We discussed possible hosts for DELPH-IN 2012, 2013
    • Candidates:
      • Korea NO for 2012 (ACL is already too busy)
      • Europe: Edinburgh, Sofia (Dan to contact), Daghstuhl
        • Some people (e.g. Melbourne) can only get funded if it is collocated with another event
  • DELPH-IN visibility/branding
    • New web site design for DELPH-IN based on a wiki. Move at some time after the summer. Host at Oslo or UW.
    • Try to use a standard phrase in the acknowledgments: This work was made possible in part by DELPH-IN resources. Cite DELPH-IN with the web site http://www.delph-in.net
    • Maybe write a new position paper describing DELPH-IN aimed at LREC. Standing committee to think about this
    • Come up with a DELPH-IN Manifesto/Mission Statement. Possibly to be used as boilerplate in grant applications/papers. StephanOepen to write draft
    • Encourage everyone to remember to properly cite each other.
  • Remind scribes to post notes, participants to read over and edit
    • Please add your own notes and check the scribe’s output
  • Standing Committee composition and history
    • Standing committee made up of founding members, no current plans to change, could perhaps enlarge it/change it. We are open to input.
    • The standing committee members are listed online
  • Are there any new candidate institutions?
    • Maybe ISI
  • Review of planned cross-site visits
    • Dan: Maybe make a visible list of who is visiting where.
  • ParticipantsGroup/`participants’ list update process
    • Annual update of the list.
  • Erasmus Mundus (EU funded exchanges)
    • encourage members to participate. Saarland already a big hub,
      • Melbourne, NTU also joining in
  • Additional items suggested by the membership
  • Shall we set up a shared bibliography?
    • General consensus was that this is hard to do, instead we should submit to the HPSG bibliography as much as possible
    • People are also encourage to send a note to a mailing list (developers or participants) when they have a DELPH-IN friendly paper
  • Finished with a round of thanks to the local organizer (Emily), the program Chairs (Stephan and Francis) and the Utilika Foundation. ^///^
