THATCamp Room Setup

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Adam Solove asked about space details for THATCamp to help with brainstorming before the camp, so here it goes:

Research 1 has wireless access throughout the building. We currently have five spaces reserved:

  • Conference room to hold 20-25 people, with projector, whiteboards with markers
  • Conference room to hold 15-20 people, with projector, whiteboards with markers
  • Conference table in a CHNM workspace (in front of my office actually!) that could hold 10 people fairly comfortably. Has a LCD TV hooked up to a G5 Powermac, but could easily be attached to a laptop. Whiteboards with markers.
  • Conference table in a CHNM workspace that could hold 10 people fairly comfortably. No projector or tv, though, but we could figure something out with this.
  • Computer lab that could comfortably hold 20-25 people. Widescreen TV mounted on wall, attached to a Powermac G5. Also has a GameCube, if someone wants to start a MarioKart tournament!

Hello THATCampers!

Welcome to the THATCamp website! We have a few plans in the works for adding features to the site. If you twitter, use the tag #thatcamp in your tweets and we can create an aggregated list of tweets. When blogging on your own site, or uploading relevant pictures to Flickr, tag them with “thatcamp” so other campers can find them too.

If you’ve registered, you’re free to contribute posts to this blog. Anything goes: live-blogging sessions, posts on organizing sessions, post-camp drinks, finding a ride to campus, interesting websites or tools, whatever! Dave and I will be using the blog primarily to keep campers updated on pre-camp plans and announcements.
