For folks heading to DLF, want to start coordinating a meetup?

@thomaspadilla: Yes!

okie dokie

Anyone going to the preconference?

seems like that could be a good site for the DH voltron to begin to form

yay dlf!

Excuse if this seems spammy, but here’s a description of a workshop at ISAW/NYU that was held a few weeks back. http://isaw.nyu.edu/news/lawdi-news-fall2015 . Distinctive feature was an emphasis on graduate students and encouraging them to meet each other. It wasn’t a “graduate student conference” per se. But organization and connections were “flat” across the range of attendees. Twitter feed was #lawndy and was fairly active. I think a good time was had by all.

If anyone here is in the glorious Buffalo region and planning to come to tomorrow’s THATCamp at D’Youville, DM me! Would love to meet up.

@sfsheath: I think you meant to type #lawdny for that hashtag

Yup. Thx for correction.

Maybe, but I’m holding out hope for a good use of #lawndry someday.

I just remembered that we could use this for DLF organizationarery - any up for hanging out? @svmelton @jheppler @mwidner

Can I just say w00t for DLF linking google docs to all these different panels: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/program/

Personal Digital Archiving 2016 Call for Papers (Ann Arbor, MI in May 2016) http://www.lib.umich.edu/pda2016/cfp

Great meeting some of you (and reconnecting with others) at #DLFforum this week!

same same, def. going to go next year

Thanks to the DH Conference google calendar, I found out about “Digitorium” at U. Alabama: http://apps.lib.ua.edu/blogs/digitorium/cfp/

@benwbrum: Yes, I came across that conference too. The CFP ends on December 10. The tracks look interesting: Digital Methods, Methods in Early Modern Digital Scholarship, and Methods in American Studies Digital Scholarship.

I wasn’t able to make their Digitorium last year, but they had the same tracks and, from what I could tell from afar, it was quite successful

Excellent. I’ve recommended it to some collaborators who work in the same spaces.

KeystoneDH 2015 this last summer in Philly had an absolutely marvelous community, so I heartily recommend submitting to KeyDH2016 in Pittsburgh!

I saw the idea floated of using Slack as an academic conference backchannel instead of/in addition to twitter - anyone have experience using it like that?

@mdlincoln: Not yet, but I like the idea. Would the conference make a Slack team, and then channels could be per session?

Yes, I think a slack for the conference, channels per session/session track

I also love the idea of having a “food” channel to help facilitate birds-of-a-feather lunches and dinners :cake:

One might worry, of course, abt asking ppl to sign up for yet another account

But I also love the idea of being able to export and present an archive of it all that would be far more readable than a Storify

I am a big fan of “usable” conferences/events :simple_smile:
