Hi Pippa (and all),

It's important that people submitting the detailed proposals should plan to be with us on March 8. We think you'll find the Machine Learning and Humanities workshop on March 7 interesting and useful, so we're hoping that you'll join us for that day as well. We will certainly cover hotels for one representative for each project (if that's necessary). I would stick around until Saturday morning, and not try to bomb out of Joburg on the Friday evening, which is, as you say, often a nightmare.

On the formats for presentation, we will be able to say more once we've had a chance to review them at the end of this month, but I think you can plan on a short presentation -- say 15 minutes -- with about the same time for questions.

Likewise on meeting you (and everyone else here).

Yours, K

Dear Keith,

I am trying to book flights and am not clear exactly what my commitments are to the two days in Jhb. Am I correct in thinking that the Thursday is a workshop, and that this is something I should attend? What time does this begin and end? And then Friday is a presentation of the proposals? What format will this take, and what is the span of the day? In other words can I get a flight out that evening  -- bearing in mind that every flight after 5 or so at OR Tambo is delayed sometimes for hours – or would it be better to fly out the next morning (because day’s events only ends at 5 or so)?

I look forward to meeting you,

Kind regards

Pippa

Subject: [Afridig] Two types of detailed proposal

Dear colleagues,

We have asked for proposals in two broad areas : digitisation and research into reading. We have also received proposals for course development. These require questions about different activities. To that end we have added a second detailed proposal form.

Digitisation : https://goo.gl/forms/1ZzjF7Op3QUdQO1K3<https://goo.gl/forms/1ZzjF7Op3QUdQO1K3>

Research & Teaching : https://goo.gl/forms/vBi3iudCRTlo7Pa03<https://goo.gl/forms/vBi3iudCRTlo7Pa03>

I've attached printouts of the questions we have in mind.

Thanks, k
