[open-humanities] Looking for comments on a possible ShakeSpeare Hackday

[Nicola Osborne]

Hi there,

Myself and my colleagues at EDINA are considering running a hackday 
(likely to be December this year) for a project we've been working on 
and which I hope may be of interest. The project is called Will's World 
and it is a JISC-funded project to build a registry of metadata about 
Shakespeare resources across the UK.

We have been inspired by other excellent hack events we've been to and 
are wanting to run our own online hack event. We think that's a fairly 
unusual way to do it and we really want some feedback on the idea and 
the format from the people we want to be involved - which might 
hopefully include some of you.

The hackday would be open to all (as will the registry) and I am very 
much hoping you might able to involved either in giving us some feedback 
on the idea, in the event itself or both!

We've put up a blogpost about our idea here:
http://willsworld.blogs.edina.ac.uk/2012/10/18/online-hack-event/

And the survey we are running to capture feedback is here:
https://www.survey.ed.ac.uk/willsworldhack/

Please do feel free to forward/share with others - we want to both get 
word out about the possible event and capture as much feedback as 
possible before we start planning so we can make sure it actually works 
well.

Huge thanks in advance!

- Nicola.
