This afternoon (Friday, 24 March) I’m going to be working through the tutorial on Jekyll from The Programming Historian. I’d be interested in a session at tomorrow’s camp to talk about Jekyll and other static-site generators. I don’t know much about them, but maybe you do? And maybe I’ll know a whole lot more after this afternoon?

It’s been a few years since the last THATCamp New England. What are you doing now to connect students and researchers with artifacts, projects, and tools? If you’re an instructor, what techniques are you using to inspire and engage your students?

This session is intended to be a forum for sharing what you’re doing, and hearing from other participants.

I look forward to hearing from everyone and leaving with ideas!

THATCamp New England 2017 is nearly at capacity. We have fewer than 10 spots left. We are very excited to see a great diversity of campers, including a number of you with fantastic skill sets. The full agenda will be decided on the morning of March 25th, but to help us streamline the process, we would like to get a sense of who is willing to teach what in advance. This will help us make the best possible match between skills and interests. To that end, we’d like to invite proposals from ThatCampers who would like to teach.

Some of you are veteran THATCamp attendees and already know the process, but for those who are new or need a refresher, you can find the guidelines here. Session proposals are usually divided into four categories: make, play, talk, teach. Proposals to teach sessions jointly with other THATCampers are welcome and encouraged.
