Subject: Fund Drive 2016: Introducing GeoLing

 
Dear LINGUIST List Subcribers, 

GeoLing is a map service that will include all linguistics information around
the world—from jobs, to conferences, to internships—and now, for the first
time on LINGUIST List—local events. GeoLing will show all events in a map that
is also aware of the users geo-location. It runs in all major browsers
including on mobile devices. 

Information that contains geo-coordinates or addresses and that is posted on
LINGUIST List (using the structured submission interface on its website:
http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm) will be mapped in this
interface. Currently, all announcements that were submitted to LINGUIST List
up till January are displayed on GeoLing. We are working on regularly
exporting all of the announcements to the map. 

We have implemented an interface to submit local events which are not part of
the regular LINGUIST List announcements. Now, you can add and find events such
as local talks, gatherings, etc. 

Again, the emphasis for GeoLing is on linguistics, which includes theoretical,
descriptive, documentary, cognitive, psycho-linguistics, etc., and in
particular corpus and computational linguistics.

To learn how to submit a local event, please visit:
http://geoling.linguistlist.org/howto/

To add a local event, please visit: http://geoling.linguistlist.org/add/ 

We hope to continue to put our full efforts into GeoLing and expand its
capabilities and features. We ask that you please make a donation to Fund
Drive 2016. To keep our services, such as the brand new and FREE GeoLing, and
all of our other features up and running, we need your help. Please consider
supporting The LINGUIST List in our 2016 Fund Drive by making a donation at 

http://funddrive.linguistlist.org/donate/ 

Support like yours is vital to our ongoing efforts to upgrade and develop
services like GeoLing. We hope you will continue to support us so we can
better support you! 

Enjoy! 
The LINGUIST List Team

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
