Dear Committee,
It's been a busy fall and now winter, and I realize we have had minimal
contact. For that reason, I have pulled together a mid-year report that
describes the activities the Communications Fellows and I have been engaged
in:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aNI8uNaII4YnIIVmAHTNwOu5oPV1SOjadlm_yq9…
Please feel free to contact the Communications Fellows and I (
communications(a)digitalhumanities.org) if you have thoughts or feedback on
our work so far this year, or if your CO has an announcement you would like
us to help publicize.
Report Tl;dr:
• ADHO has a new volunteer webmaster, James Chartrand, who has agreed to
help us maintain adho.org and to help facilitate the website's
internationalization.
• The Communications Fellows and I have been working to promote
multilingual communication on ADHO's official social media channels.
• Our following on social media continues to rise--most significantly on
Twitter, where we have added ~375 new follows in the last 6 months.
• We have drafted official ADHO powerpoint slides and brochures for, as
well as guidelines for recognition at, conferences. These are still in
draft form, however, as the SC has not yet been able to approve them.
• I feel the fellows program, now in its second year, has again been
successful, and I hope to be able to continue it in the coming academic
year.
• Over the next six months, we hope to continue to address issues of
usability & accessibility on with the website; to seek out more
non-English-speaking dh communities; and to develop more of a physical
presence at DH2016.
All best wishes,
Hannah
