blog  A semi-automated conference assistant.

Jun 2022

A couple of weeks ago I went to the excellent Move Or Perish—Scientific Trajectories, Inclusion, And Inequality, And Their Consequences For Transformative Science workshop in Vienna. While getting ready for it, I found myself asking some familiar questions. Who are the speakers? What is their background? How to best contextualise the topics being discussed?

blog  Conference: Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archeology.

Mar 2012

Yesterday I went to the CAA 2012 conference in Southampton, one of the top conferences in the world in the field of computational archaeology. I couldn't stay for longer than a day, but I've seen enough to say that archaeologist definitely know their way around when it comes to combining IT with their discipline.

blog  Event: THATcamp Kansas and Digital Humanities Forum.

Sep 2011

The THATcamp Kansas and Digital Humanities Forum happened last week at the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, which is part of the University of Kansas in beautiful Lawrence. I had the opportunity to be there and give a talk about some recent stuff I've been working on regarding digital prosopography and computer ontologies, so in this blog post I'm summing up a bit the things that caught my attention while at the conference.


blog  Event: Digital Humanities conference 2011.

Jun 2011

Last week I went to Stanford for the Digital Humanities 2011 international conference. This is arguably the most important event for researchers and academics who employ digital methods to tackle questions and problems normally associated to 'humanities' disciplines. In this blog post I will start by summarising the things I was invited to talk about; then in the near future I'll try to integrate this article with other reflections and pointers to interesting materials I ran into at the conference.

2010

blog  DjangoCon Europe 2010.

Jun 2010

DjangoCon returned for its second year in Europe; the first as a wholly community-supported conference. The conference website contains a lot of info and interesting links (even an iPhone app), but in my opinion the coolest thing is the freely available videos of the conference!
