At the ACH AGM we had a conversation about how to explain the field and things like posters to people new to it. Elsewhere we discussed who is included or not. This year there was a THATcamp before DH which was, by all accounts, inclusive and lively. (While I didn&#8217;t participate, I&#8217;m judging the Developers Challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Graduate Consortium. The idea of creating some sort of graduate consortium where graduate students could meet and organize activities is coming up in different contexts.<\/li>\n<li>Historicizing the Field. I&#8217;m seeing more and more reflections on the history of computing in the humanities. Of particular note is the archive of conference abstracts being put together by John Unsworth and others. I see this as an example of how the field is trying to document itself to its own standards.<\/li>\n<li>Embroidered Digital Commons. There were some neat projects run in parallel with DH. I participated in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.open-source-embroidery.org.uk\/EDC.htm\">Embroidered Digital Commons<\/a>, an  artwork faciltiated by Ele Carpenter as part of the Open Source  Embroidery project. I love these participatory projects. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jobs. The ACH ran a neat Jobs-Slam at its Annual General Meeting. Jobs are becoming an issue as the field expands and people see humanities computing as a source of alternative para-academic careers. I was surprised how many jobs were promoted at the AGM. <\/p>\n<p>On the subject of jobs, St\u00e9fan Sinclair shared two places where jobs are being posted that were new to me:<\/p>\n<p>Arts &#038; Humanities Net: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arts-humanities.net\/jobs\">http:\/\/www.arts-humanities.net\/jobs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HASTAC: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hastac.org\/forums\/announcements-and-opportunities\/fellowship-and-employment-opportunities\">http:\/\/www.hastac.org\/forums\/announcements-and-opportunities\/fellowship-and-employment-opportunities<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m at the Digital Humanities 2010 conference in London, England.
