We’re currently trying to schedule a January THATCamp Council meeting: meanwhile here’s an agenda.

* Website issues, including those raised in thread about the last Council meeting agenda at thatcamp.org/forums/topic/agenda-items-for-next-meeting/

* Status of additional documentation about such things as archived sites, Proceedings of THATCamp, etc.

* Planning for Council elections in spring

* Reports from various THATCamps

* Other?

Had a call with a friend who attended a camp recently. brought up some really helpful comments. Brief notes from our call below.

Major website issues for THATCamp AARSBL 2015. had to move to their own server last minute to even be able to make it work – www.thatcampaarsbl.org/

how ok to use the name/conversations in continuity
— (micah suggestion) can we use proceedings for this?
— need a model for how that might look! (Micah – DH+Lib issue?)
— can we have one site for camps at the same conference/organization over time?

So many humanities scholars that are not technically literate, so basing everything around the site is problematic.

How do we deal with third party vendors who want to repackage or build related content to THATCamps?

Hi everyone and thanks if advance for reading this.

I’m on a team organizing a THATCamp that will happen on March 21. I’ve been trying to build the website for the past week but everything is moving so slowly. I’m a little nervous about launching it because I’m afraid it will frustrate people trying to sign up.

I spoke to someone earlier this week who said people were working on this so I’m wondering if things are closer to being back to normal.

Thanks!

Hi Amanda and everybody!
I’m just trying to edit some aspects of my WordPress THATCamp site (using the THATCamp Base theme), and I’m having trouble fixing things in CSS that I know would be easy in HTML (and that I can see how to edit through FireBug if only I had access to the source code).

Is there any way on the THATCamp WP platform to actually edit the HTML? Have I just been staring at this too long? The specific problem I’m having is that images are justifying right on posts, despite my playing around with the HTML central to the text of the post. It would be really easy to fix if I could make the entire div in HTML style=”maxwidth: 100%” because Firebug seems to think that this styling info is in the HTML.

Thanks anyone for your help!
