Subject: Survey Invitation — Using Local Infrastructures for Generative AI
Dear Colleagues
Apologies for cross-posting.
We're at PASC 2026 <https://pasc-conference.org/editions/pasc26/> in Bern this
July, and we are looking for your input on a topic we think matters a lot to the
research community.
We're running a short survey on how researchers, students, and scholars are
using — or would like to use — local computing infrastructures (like HPCs and
on-premise clusters) to run generative AI models and inference workloads.
As AI tools become a bigger part of research workflows, we want to understand
what's working, what's missing, and where local infrastructure could better
serve the community.
Who should fill this in? Anyone working or studying at a university or research
institute — across all fields, from humanities to natural sciences. You don't
need to be a tech expert; your experience (or lack of it) with these tools is
exactly what we want to hear.
It takes about 8–10 minutes: Take the survey<https://framaforms.org/serving-
inference-unibe-1779955001> (https://framaforms.org/serving-inference-
unibe-1779955001). Your data will only be used for this survey (and maybe a
small publication), and the form will be deleted in 6 months.
Your responses will help shape how local AI infrastructure is developed and made
accessible to the broader research community.
Thank you for your time — and feel free to pass this on to colleagues who might
want to weigh in!
Have questions? Come find us at PASC2026, or don't hesitate to reach out:

Thanks in advance, and sending best wishes,
Tobias Hodel

Subject: TEI-C 2026 elections: please submit nominations
Dear members of the TEI community,
The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI-C) invites nominations for election
to the TEI-C Board and the Technical Council.
The following positions are vacant and up for election:
* TEI-C Board of Directors
* 2 members (for 3-year term)
* TEI-C Technical Council
* 4 members (for 3-year term)
Please submit your nominations to the TEI-C Board Nominating Committee by 16
June 2026:
https://forms.gle/5dVnEuLYWzsF5ndx9
The elections will take place via online voting closing prior to the 2026
virtual Members’ Meeting in August.
Process
You may make multiple nominations, and you may nominate yourself. TEI-C
membership is not a requirement to serve on the Board of Directors or Technical
Council. All nominees who choose to accept their nomination will be asked to
provide a brief statement of interest and biographical paragraph, and to give
notice that, if elected, they will be willing to serve.
Once nominations are received and registered, the named person will be asked
for:
* a biography and a statement of interest and purpose before 26 June
All nominees are reminded that it is the duty of members of all two bodies to
participate actively in the discussion, activities, and meetings of their
respective body.
The TEI-C seeks to represent its community and encourages diversity and gender
balance in all its constituencies. It provides a welcoming environment for all.
TEI-C Board
The TEI-C Board is the governing body for the TEI Consortium and is responsible
for its strategic and financial oversight. The Board conducts its business by
email correspondence, monthly teleconferences, and at its annual meeting, for
which travel subsidies are available. For more information on the Board,
including a list of current members, please see: https://tei-c.org/about/board-
of-directors/. This year two vacancies for the TEI Board of Directors are
available for a term of 3 years.
TEI-C Technical Council
The TEI-C Technical Council oversees the technical development of the TEI
Guidelines. Candidates for Council should be reasonably experienced users of the
Guidelines, and expertise/interest in specific areas is helpful. Council members
also evaluate bug reports and feature requests, and they have primary
responsibility for editing and updating the Guidelines and its release packages.
Prospective candidates should be available for subsidized travel to one or two
face-to-face meetings annually, and they should be able to commit to ongoing
work during the course of the year, including usually two 90-minute
teleconference meetings per month. For more information on the Council,
including a list of current members, please see:
https://tei-c.org/activities/council/. This year four vacancies for the TEI
Technical Council are available for a term of 3 years.
Best wishes,
Gimena del Rio Riande, TEI-C Board member
