Broken oXygen plugin

• Email from Martin Holmes: https://github.com/TEIC/oxygen-tei/issues/30
• ANT transformation scenarios in the TEI-bleeding framework don’t work in Oxygen-21.0.
• PS: We need someone with the right technical background to look after the oXygen plugin. NC may be interested? Possibly Martin Holmes, possibly MT—who was going to find out from SyncRO whether oXygen can provide this as a service and for how much.
• Action on MS: ask NC and MT by 2019-11-27

Report on Triangle SCI (Hugh and Martina)

• Action on HC (& MS): send e-mail summary to tei-council by 2019-11-30.

Proposal on Council terms

• Action on each Council member by 2019-12-09 — read and comment.

Council chair elections

• MS nominated and seconded.
• Action on SB to announce request for nominations on tei-council by end of week [done, 2019-11-20 15:02Z — SB]

Roma

• Tutorial / demo is online: https://vimeo.com/373995865
• RV thanks EB and JC for comments.
• Has closed captions in ‘en’, hoping to add ‘it’ soon; other languages?
• RV asks for Councilors to “have a look at it, see what you think”.
• RV is planning on a blog post later this week, so earlier input is better than later.
• We need to update the Roma page on the TEI website with the new Roma—and perhaps include this video there.

Rub-a-dub

• SB reports no progress, none expected until mid-December at least (depending on how <standOff> goes)
