I’ve seen lately that a lot of people are interested in doing creative, hack-a-thon-y things with data they’ve got. Let’s share some data-wrangling expertise?

• Post a dataset, and data-wranglers might:
• Suggest better ways to structure the data
• Convert it into code-friendly designs
• Get creative about what could be done with it

Idea is to take data and mix it with people who like to work with data in all forms, and make it more happy for both!

UPDATE: Due to the snow, my flight was canceled so I won’t be able to attend THATCamp. If someone wants to adopt this session idea, please go ahead and I’ll watch from afar! (Larry?)

SobekCM : Introduction to SobekCM’s for Collaborative Digital Humanities Projects & Make a Project with SobekCM is a proposed Teach and Make session.  The first part of the session will provide a quick introduction to the Open Source SobekCM  Digital Repository software which powers digital GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) as well as many digital scholarship and Digital Humanities projects and more!

The Make portion of the session will include registering for an account, creating a new project, and an applied overview of the tools for your project.  Participants are encouraged to bring materials for real projects and possible projects, and to have no projects – the Make portion of this session will be a great learning experience and great fun!
