[Corpora-List] Succeed hackathon at UA

[Marco BÜCHLER]

On the 10th and 11th of April 2014, the Succeed project will hold a
hackathon at the University of Alicante, whose aim is to look at
improving the state-of-the-art open-source tools for the digitisation of
textual content such as books and newspapers.

Over the two days, developers will work together in small groups to
discuss, roadmap and plan the future development of existing tools. Some
of the topics up for discussion are:

  * How to train the Tesseract
    <http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3> OCR
    engine.
  * Creation of XSLT stylesheets for format conversion, e.g. hOCR, PAGE,
    FRXML.
  * Debian package generation.

The hackathon provides a unique opportunity to meet developers involved
in digitisation projects all over Europe. Participation to the event is
FREE OF CHARGE, but please make sure you reserve
