1. Updates on website
Theme on Main Site buggy that causes memory buffer to overload.
Tim @ Reclaim do some updates Thursday this week
if it messes up Amanda will ask Boone and Tammy (theme designer) to look into it
Might be problem with theme and buddypress
Patrick: Boone has used IndieGoGo to raise funds if necessary
2. Patrick – THATCamp Prime
Smaller.
People don’t quick know the relationships between THATCamp, Główny, Rada, etc.
Reflection and ideas about what TC could be
Discussion
Tim – TC supposed to be focused on advanced DH topics?
Patrick – perhaps could be clearer on that point, or offer tracks to advanced and newcomers
Amanda – TC all around an Intro to DH
Anastasia – % of advanced vs. new?
Kathryn – discussion of how its changed
Amanda – CLIR called it iconic
Patrick – the model of unconference to learn stuff is happening more and more, and regional groups popping up (ex Code4Lib)
