Event on DHTech

DHTech April Meetup

DHTech — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

On April 30, 2026 at 10am ET/4pm CET (find your local time). Register here.

At our last meetup in February we had a lively discussion about generative and agentic AI and the impact of these shifts in DH software development, with some attendees making the case for agentic AI as a “sea change” allowing DHers to focus more fully on the research, and others raising caution about the ethical and environmental risks.

DHTech February Meetup

DHTech — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

With AI coding agents and chatting computers the landscape of software development as a profession in DH is shifting. How does this shift reflect in the perspective for students, how are professionals adjusting their day to day business? How do we balance the potential loss of quality in research software with the benefit of making software development more accessible?

DHTech December Meetup

DHTech — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Before 2025 comes to a close, DHTech is planning one more meetup to discuss how to build a Python Package Community for the Humanities. Are you a developer of a Python package for DH research? Or maybe you are not the developer but you are using someone else’s Python code? Do you wish there was such a community to support you in your efforts? Do you wish there was a way of sharing your work with others so it could be reused? If so, then join us on December 4, 2025 at 10am ET/4pm CEST!

DHTech September Meetup

DHTech — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Our next meetup will be on September 11, 2025 at 9am ET/3pm CET. The topic of the meetup will be publication venues for research software. Where do you publish your software? Do you publish it at all outside of GitHub and Zenodo? How do you let other people know your software exists? There are the big names like the Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) but are there maybe other venues not so well known? And what does it mean to publish your software? What do you write about when you publish? And even more broadly, where do you publish about your software engineering work? These and many more questions will be the focus of our next meetup. You can register here!

Digital Humanities Tech Symposium - Agenda

DHTech — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Digital Humanities Tech Symposium at DH2025 - Agenda

From July 14-18, 2025, DH2025 will be held at NOVA University in Lisbon, Portugal. DHTech will hold a mini-conference at DH2025, the Digital Humanities Tech Symposium. Typical DH conference presentations are focussed on the research with a slight nod to the technical details; we want to flip that format and dive more deeply into the technical aspects of the work, while still keeping it in context of the research and domain specifics.

DHTech April Meetup on Data Longevity

DHTech — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The next DHTech meetup will be held on April 24, 2025 at 9am ET/3pm CET. We will discuss what we can do to keep the data of our projects around and usable even long after the software used to present the data has found its natural end. How can we make sure data is understandable and usable long-term? What happens to the logic encoded in our code that is necessary to interpret the data? Where can we store data and in what format? What’s the cost to benefit ratio for creating backups that might not be used for a long time? Does this sound interesting? Come join us and register for our Zoom meeting!

DHTech February Meetup

DHTech — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Our next DHTech meetup will be on February 20, 2025 at 9am ET/3pm CET. We will discuss a potential submission to RSECon25, which will be hosted at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK from 9-11 September 2025. At US-RSE’24, we organized a Birds of a Feather session to talk about how different domains pose different challenges to RSEs and require different skill sets. The idea has been floated to propose a similar session for RSECon25. Does that sound interesting?
