ADHO Communications Fellows Program
by Hannah L Jacobs 08 Apr '16

08 Apr '16

Dear all, It is time for us to consider whether to continue ADHO's Communications Fellows Program. I would like to *open discussion with this committee about whether to continue the program over the next week. Therefore, could you please respond to this email * *with your thoughts by next Wednesday, April 6th?* I have provided links below to more information about the program. My own opinion is that the program, now in its second year, has been greatly beneficial both to ADHO and to the individual fellows. Each year, two fellows have worked closely with the Communications Chair to maintain an active ADHO presence on the website and social media. Each cohort has brought to ADHO creative ideas, enthusiasm for the community, and valuable skills in languages, writing, social media, and design that have greatly enhanced how we communicate with our members and with the wider digital humanities community. In return, the fellows have learned more about how an international academic organization functions, have acquired new knowledge of the digital humanities field, and have gained experiences in professional content management and communication. This year, our fellows have added to ADHO's regular communications activities by also designing slides and a brochures, developing Twitter campaign for better engagement, and enhancing our multilingual social media communications. Over the past two years, ADHO has budgeted 1200 Euros per year (600 per fellow) to support the program. Last year's call for applicants: http://adho.org/announcements/2015/apply-become-adhos-next-communications-f… Report on the program's first year: http://adho.org/announcements/2015/adho-communications-fellowship-program-c… Thank you!

ADHO Communications Mid-Year Report
by Hannah L Jacobs 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

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 -- Multimedia Analyst, Wired! Lab, Duke University Chair, Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations Communications Committee @dukewired | @ADHOrg

Dear all, John Nerbonne has asked that I draft proposed changes to ADHO's Conference Protocol and Annex to the Protocol to address the issue of ADHO recognition at annual DH conferences. I would very much appreciate any feedback you might offer before I pass these along the the CCC and then SC. Please find the proposed changes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19qkXcYcmE6l4UxWwS9b5LNUo-fgTNvnA1Uf2ZHP… .

ADHO Communications Check-In
by Hannah L Jacobs 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Dear all, It's been a busy two months for the Communications Fellows and I as we handle post-conference communications and numerous content updates for the website. Our new fellows, Candice and Pietro, are doing a wonderful job having dived in head first to assist with social media during DH2016. This email contains three items that I would like to get your feedback on: 1. John Nerbonne as asked committee chairs to submit a list of goals for the coming year. I have developed some based on Lisa's recommendations and areas where I see need for improvement. However, I would be grateful for your comments and further recommendations. Please see the attached Google Doc--if you choose to edit, please identify your edits with a color other than black and identify who you are in that color at the top of the document. *Please review and make recommendations by next Thursday, September 17th.* 2015-ComingYrReport <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ht6ocTxfKxujHP979S_MFABNtXtkLffiPpyC8YX…> 2. Related to the above list of goals, Candice has created a proposed template for ADHO presentation slides that we would like to receive your feedback on: presentation slides <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzi-AYcGEb1Ha1hYamFTYWNSVHE0d3RHZzlidTRGbT…>. Please note that this is a low-resolution draft. If approved, Candice will create a high-resolution version. This will be posted along with the logo on the website and will become the first of a package of materials we hope to make available to members and conference coordinators. This design could also form the basis for a motif across a number of PR materials. *Please review and make recommendations by next Thursday, September 17th.* 3. Discussion has resumed with the MLMC, the Infrastructure Committee, and the Steering Committee about whether a new webmaster is needed. I have recommended that ADHO does indeed need a Drupal developer if we hope to make the website multilingual, more accessible, and more usable. The Infrastructure Committee has expressed support for hiring a new webmaster, but the Steering Committee has not discussed the issue yet. As you may have gathered from the report, much of what has been proposed regarding the website may hinge on the presence of a Drupal developer. *I welcome your feedback on whether a webmaster is needed. If possible, I would like to include the Communications Committee's opinion on this issue in my report to the Steering Committee.* Thank you all! All best wishes, Hannah -- Chair, ADHO Communications Committee Multimedia Analyst, Wired! Lab, Duke University
