We discussed several projects by @SinaiRusinek and @DH_Development at the National Library of Serbia (@nbsrb) today — including the super cool spatial cultural heritage browser they’re building for @NLIsrael. So happy that @ATRIUM_EU made it possible for them to visit.

Ok, I will never ever get over the weirdness of seeing videos of myself, but I loved our DARIAH Annual Event 2024, so here we go… 🫣 And thank God my child actor days are over! – at Louvain, Belgium
At our Annual Event 2024, Director @ttasovac shared his thoughts on #Workflows📈 "For us as a research infrastructure, it's very important that we find a way to discuss, document, and disseminate workflows..." 🎦 Watch the full #DARIAH2024 recap film: buff.ly/4bYEsMh

Fabulous meeting of the @DARIAHeu Working Group on Lexical Resources at @ACDH_OeAW in Vienna. Two days of TEI Lex-0, Wienerschnitzel and Aperol Spritz. On the way to the airport, I still have #dictionary metadata coming out of my ears.

It’s always such a pleasure to hang out with @ACDH_OeAW colleagues. So much so that I wouldn’t mind skipping my own talk tomorrow for a collective jump into a giant pool of Kaiserschmarrn instead… Note to self: Must. Be. Professional. The talk will be live-streamed after all. – at Berlin, Germany
