Comment on On-line threaded discussions by Amanda

Yes. I am not too interested in the on-line meeting room, though I am especially interested in encouraging conversation that is held on-line. I want to be able to follow and contribute to distinct themes and topics, and keep those topical conversations clumped together. Blogs, Emails and Facebook formats seem to chronologically frame discussions more than thematically. The NowComment also does not seem to engage students in being able to direct as well as and respond to the distinct themes of a particular conversation. thanks for any suggestions…

I’m interested in sharing experiences in this as well.

Love it! Crowdsourcing to the right crowd. I also plan to be present the day you are doing this, so now very curious to check your session out with my trusty laptop at hand.

Comment on Sharon Freeman, President DeBary Hall, Inc. by wilhelminarandtke

Omeka is a digital library platform – so a tool for hosting a bunch of things that someone would search, and those things don’t change. It’s good for a photo collect, bunch of e-books, etc.

It sound like you want a better web tool, so something like Drupal or WordPress. Those would be good for your website contact info, board member list, and other content that changes from year to year.

Does Friends of DeBary Hall have a bunch of photos of the historic site that you’d like to host, a bunch of documents related to it’s history, or anything like that? If so, then Omeka.net might be a good way to get those out there. The advantage to it is, you can more easily share your pics, docs, etc with other digital libraries and put them out there in the bigger historical community.

Comment on Mobile Tech at Interpretive Sites by wilhelminarandtke

Just looking at what APIs exist to tie into could be useful. I’ve never done anything using the Google Maps API, but getting your experiences with it (since it sounds like you used it some) could be good for me to spot when it’s a good tool. I’ll try and ask you about this, if I see you.

OK, that’s interesting. You are interested in emerging interfaces, and maybe even more than threading? So, something like Google Wave or other new interface, where the online meeting room mixed with the discussion board?

Most of the ethics are on what the person thought the oral history would be used for at the time the oral history was recorded. I think this is mostly straight ethics (ie. not legal or something that will be enforced by anything other than culture after the narrator has died).

Comment on Design Marketing Material by Brian Cain

Aloha, Juanita. What kind of marketing materials? Print, email, web, social media? My experience has been that the more you can pin down the audience and find an objective, the more effective a marketing plan will be. Look forward to brainstorming this weekend.

Aloha, friends. I, too, would love to talk thru the various pros and cons of different CMS. I build custom WordPress installs regularly, so I’m able to contribute what it can do and, perhaps more important, what it cannot!

As a doctoral student integrating instructional systems design and emerging technologies, I would appreciate the opportunity to participate in this kind of exploration/evaluation.

I would also be interested in comparisons and experiences with “most appropriate/effective use” in different educational contexts.

I would also like to explore the links between digital and public humanities. How can we enhance the possibilities that our digital projects will be of interest/utility to non-academic audiences? Tips? Guidelines? And, how might these projects be used? User studies?

Comment on Session proposal: Researching the digital archives by Sophia Acord

This is interesting. I’d love to think about what using digital archives (hyperlinked footnotes) does in shaping a scholarly argument.

Comment on symposia ensoniment of Plato’s Symposium by johnbork

The current version of the software requires a GNU/Linux-based development environment (I’m using Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.11 on bare hardware and VirtualBox virtual machines–so you can use a Windows-based or Mac-based host) to compile and run the program to be one of the speakers (Apollodorus, Glaucon, companion, Aristodemus, Socrates, Agathon, Alicibiades). It will also be connecting to a MySQL database host over a wired or wireless network I will set up.

We are looking for interesting passages in the Symposium where there is a lot of interaction among the speakers to hear what it will sound like (hard not to say ‘see’ what it will sound like) in simultaneous Greek and English (and more languages if we have time in the workshop to add them) text-to-speech synthesized voices. I will update the main posting with more technical requirements in the next day or so. Thanks for your comment!

Rustin, I, too, am very interested in looking into Apple’s new initiative with the Academy, especially iBooks Author. I have had only a fleeting opportunity to look at the new iTunes U, but have not had a chance to play with Author yet. I would love to do that this weekend with other folks are interested in trying to press it into service for humanities classes in more creative ways than I have seen to date from e-textbooks, etc.

OK, consider me very intrigued. Just to be clear, I will need a laptop to participate in this, and not just my iPad — is that correct? I just want to make sure I bring the proper tool for this session.

Sophia,

I would love to be in on this session. The process of creating THATCamp Florida has been driven by a desire to foster collaborate work and to help facilitate the kinds of connections that can make that work possible in Florida. I am looking forward to discussing that with fellow campers this weekend.

Comment on Session Proposal–Omeka and Other Platforms by Mark Kamrath

I am referring to Fedora Commons Repository Software for managing, preserving, and linking digital content. Site: fedora-commons.org/

There may be a connection, though, between the two; I am not sure.

I’m familiar with the Fedora operating system project, is this what you mean?

Comment on Zotero Translators by adam.smith

If you need advice, post to zotero-dev groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev
I don’t think any of the usual translator people will be at THAT Florida, but we’re happy to give pointers and advice. If there’s no one to lead a workshop we could even talk about having someone do a skype or google+ videotalk.
