    * Meeting venue: University of Zadar, Croatia
    * Meeting dates: Thu 11 November to Sun 14 November, 2010
    * Workshop dates: Mon 08 November to Wed 10 November, 2010

Traditionally, the TEI Conference and Members' Meeting has been preceded
by educational or research workshops. The goal of these workshops is to
give members of the TEI community an opportunity to learn more about the
use of the TEI markup under the guidance of experienced instructors and
practitioners. In the past such workshops have ranged from a basic
introduction to the use of TEI markup to more specialized sessions on
specific aspects of the TEI or its use in specific domains. They have
ranged in length from a single morning or afternoon to a maximum of two
days. Workshops are run on a cost-recovery basis: a separate fee is
charged of participants that is intended to cover the costs of running
the workshop.

We are now soliciting proposals for workshops for the 2010 Conference
and Members' Meeting, to be held November 8-14 at University of Zadar,
Croatia. Workshops are distinct from other conference activities, such
as papers, sessions, and Special Interest Group meetings and we have
tentatively reserved three days for them. These workshops should be
educational in focus or involve hands-on work with a research problem.
They should propose topics that are likely to be of interest to
recognizable segments of the TEI community. Possible topics include:

    * An Introduction to TEI
    * TEI and libraries
    * Editorial practice and TEI
    * Extending and customizing TEI
    * Introduction to the ODD system
    * Using TEI with other standards and markup languages
    * Images and TEI
    * Use and development of tools and processes

Proposals addressing other topics are welcome and encouraged. If you are
interested in proposing a workshop for the 2010 Members Meeting and
Conference, please email meeting at tei-c.org by 31 March 2010. Expressions
of interest should include as much as possible of the following
information (the committee is willing to work with proposers in
developing their proposals):

    * A proposed topic
    * A rationale explaining why this topic is likely to be of interest
to the TEI community
    * A proposed instructor or slate of instructors including brief
discussion of relevant experience
    * Method of instruction
    * Preferred length for the workshop
    * A preliminary budget of your anticipated costs (if any).
Organisational and infrastructure costs (e.g. coffee breaks and the
like) will be determined later in conjunction with the local organising
committee.

Proposals will be evaluated by the program committee primarily on the
basis of their likely appeal to the TEI community, the quality of the
proposed instructors and method of instruction, and cost. The committee
will work with selected organizers after this date to refine the details
of their workshops.
