[OpenGLAM] THATCamp CHNM 2013, June 7-8, 2013

[Amanda French]

Hi all,

We're running a Makers' Challenge at THATCamp at the Center for History 
and New Media in Fairfax, VA (near DC) this year, so developers who work 
with GLAM data are especially welcome (though the project doesn't have 
to be an app). Please distribute the below to anyone you think might be 
interested.

Cheers,

Amanda

The Humanities and Technology Camp <http://thatcamp.org>is a free, open 
unconference where humanists and technologists of all skill levels learn 
and build together in sessions proposed on the spot. Since its founding 
at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media 
<http://chnm.gmu.edu>at George Mason University in 2008, more than 105 
THATCamps <http://thatcamp.org/04/24/how-long-how-much-how-many/>have 
been held in places all around the world, helping more than 6000 
students, scholars, and professionals improve their skills in the 
digital humanities while meeting terrific, smart people from all kinds 
of fields and professions.

The sixth annual THATCamp CHNM 
<http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org>(affectionately nicknamed "THATCamp 
Prime") will take place June 7-8, 2013at the Roy Center for History and 
New Media in Fairfax, VA, home of Omeka <http://omeka.org> and Zotero 
<http://zotero.org>. Spots are still available, and the whole event is 
free. At an unconference, the program is mostly created on the first day 
by the participants themselves, but pre-scheduled events 
<http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/schedule>include a Wikipedia 
editathonwhere participants edit Wikipedia, a manuscript 
transcribathonwhere participants transcribe and tag digital historical 
documents, and workshopson topics such as how to use JSTOR Data for 
Research to analyze a massive archive of scholarly journal articles. A 
Maker Challenge <http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/challenge>will offer 
THATCamp CHNM participants prizes such as an iPad Mini for any original 
project begun that weekend.
