Organisational issues
- Twitter account @CAA-SSLA
- Is still very actively maintained
- The Twitter subcommittee will have another organisational meeting soon
- As usual everybody is invited to join (contact via Slack channel)
- Slack workspace sslarch
- There is not too much activity in the open channels, but many use the workspace for peer-to-peer communcation or discussions among smaller groups
Upcoming conferences, meetings and sessions
- CAA2021
- The current conference schedule has some drawbacks - we hope for an updated version that does not split our S17 over two days
- Workshop S31
- Sophie Schmidt, Petr Pajdla and Clemens Schmid will soon meet to define the exact outline of the workshop
- Multiple other SIG members offered to join the workshop as helpers and participants
Open exchange about activities and software updates
Extension OpenArchaeo [SIG Project]
- Recent activity from external users introduced many software packages from archaeogenetics into the list
- Similar extensions should be stimulated for other domains as well (e.g. Palaeoenvironment reconstruction, Compositional analysis, Aerial imaging)
- This could work via explicit invitations to domain-specialists who also work with computer applications
- Zack Batist already initiated the management of this SIG project in a slack channel (open-archaeo)
smada2021 book [SIG Project]
- Martin Hinz is working on an open, online text book: Statistical methods for archaeological data analysis
- He would like to stimulate contributions from SIG members to finish and polish it
- As soon as the draft for the last chapter is finished at the end of this semester, he wants to move the repo to the SIG Github organisation and prepare a list of specific issues where he would like to get input
