[open-humanities] Fwd: Announce for Open Literature Sprint

Mon Jan 20 19:32:40 UTC 2014

Hi James, all, 

I'd be happy to do some more promotion. I've already mentioned this in a number of places, including in my Panton Fellow update blog from last week. I'll see if the LSE Impact Blog is willing to tweet about it (I'm sure they will be) and a few other DH places, including my own department at King's. 

Best,

Sam

>>> The Open Knowledge Foundation's Open Literature project is one dedicated sprint away from being ready to go online. This open service will offer anyone the opportunity to upload, analyse, present and annotate public-domain texts; it builds on the functionality of the OKF's recent <a href="http://openliterature.net/2013/03/12/o-brave-new-world-the-future-of-open-shakespeare-is-open-literature/">Open Shakespeare</a> and <a href="http://textusproject.org/">Textus</a> Projects to become a tool of use to a great range of scholars in the humanities.

>> This is good but could we make it a bit terser :-) (can we make 1-2 sentences - and can we drop Textus reference etc etc). (Imagine no-one clicks on the links ...)

>>> When: 25th January 2014, 11am – 6pm (if 11am is too early for you it’s OK to join later!)
