Made a Mastadon account: @btusdin@mastodon.social Don't know if I'll use it, but I might.

@ndw Most "pumpkin" pies in the US are made with butternut or tromboncino squash. You may be able to find similar orange squashes there. (Note: botanically there is no such thing as a pumpkin; pumpkins are large round orange-ish winter squash.)

Document trees emerging from XML markup #balisage

Evan Lenz on "Visualizing Musical Transformations" was brilliant at Balisage 2021. #balisage

@gimsieke Fixed! Thank you, Mr. Eagle-eye. See you at Balisage in August.

@jirkakosek Understandable, sensible, and very sad.

With tear in eye I've to announce that there will be no #xmlprague in 2021 for obvious reasons. Lets hope that situation will be more friendly to sister XML conferences that are scheduled for later months in 2021.

@dalapeyre virtually attending #xmlprague

@ForeverAgile @tgraham_antenna "Declarative Markup: An Annotated Bibliography" is a list of materials you may find useful at: markupdeclaration.org/resources/bibl…

Four weeks until the Publishing Techniques with XML track at the XML Summer School in Oxford: xmlsummerschool.com/curriculum-201…. I'll be teaching "Making ‘Pages’" plus "Introduction to CSS for Paged Media". #xmlss19

@existdb Hey @dalapeyre sorry I couldn’t make it… here’s a small present for you all - The eXist-db “#balisage edition" ;-) exist-db.org/exist/apps/wik…

Heard in final panel at Balisage today: "It's not the content model, it's the content" #balisage

#balisage Palmirani tells us Akomo Ntoso uses FRBR (explicitly) in document identification at symposium on Markup Vocabulary Customization.

@dalapeyre at #balisage: Customizing XML vocabularies in DTD form with Parameter Entities is dirt simple and very effective.

@dalapeyre talking about JATS at Symposium on Markup Vocabulary Customization.

Balisage and pre-conference symposium proposals are due Friday. Get to work!

@CerstinMahlow @ACMDocEng @true_mxp @tamirhassan #xmlprague has SEVERAL sister conferences. MarkupUK will be in London in June (markupuk.org) and Balisage: The Markup Conference in the Washington DC area in July-August (balisage.net)

Not at #xmlprague ? Don't despair it will be streamed live via YouTube. We'll share the link as soon as they're live

If you're at #XMLprague today make sure you catch our very own Robin La Fontaine and @nigel_whitaker present at 3:30pm on why merge and graft shouldn't be treated the same!

Debbie @dalapeyre is tweeting #xmlprague from her living room (where it is 3:50am)
