UPDATE (10/17): All Saturday pre-colloquium events will now take place on the second floor of Cobb Hall from noon until 6:00 PM.
This year (inspired in part by the success of THATCamp) we’ve added time for participant organized workshops and informal, “birds-of-a-feather” meetings on the day before the colloquium’s regular paper and poster sessions.
We envision the pre-colloquium being used for seminars and/or tutorials on topics that will feature in the colloquium’s paper presentations and the birds-of-a-feather (BOF) for more informal exchanges on topics of common interest (e.g. “digital archaeology”). More details here as we start registering colloquium participants.
In the meantime, please feel free to post (or comment) to the DHCS blog, tweet or follow us on Twitter (dhcs2008) or simply email us to help organize and track pre-colloquium events.
