[NLPL Task Force (A)] [NLPL Board] Associate member request: Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University

[Stephan Oepen]

dear robert,

on behalf of the NLPL steering group, i am happy to confirm that we much
welcome your involvement as an associate partner!

may i suggest that both you and marathan request access following the
procedures described on the NLPL wiki:

http://wiki.nlpl.eu/index.php/Infrastructure/resources

please apply for both Abel and Taito at the same time, as currently our
harvesting of user information (for a low-traffic NLPL-internal
announcement list) is restricted to the user database on Abel.  and,
actually, Abel gpu resources have been lightly subscribed in recent months
:-).  NLPL load on Taito is comparatively high lately, so the more you can
put on Abel rather than on Taito the better.

—out of curiosity: how was your experience with the estonian system under
the dellingr pilot?

best wishes, oe
