Planning 2011

First Thematic Project

• Renee: e-mail/contact Gordo & Danja about possible integration with Olia/Digital Folklore (done)
  • organize the theory sessions with Olia (we're working on it)

Second Thematic Project

• Contact Inke Arns again. Perhaps she can shift her module to the last trimester. (Met with Inke in Dortmund and discussed the time change. She's thinking about it and will hopefully contact me soon (Sep. 08) with an answer.)

Third Thematic Project

Currently contingent on Inke's decision.

Planning of turbo-cooking intro week

27 September - 1 October

Monday:Day 1

Everyone introduces themselves in a Pecha Kucha-style (Found out that there is a joint introduction day in the morning so we might need to expand the Pecha Kucha into the next day too.) Digital Folklore might be a possible gift depending on affordability (this could be handed out before Danja and Gordo introduce the workshop) (Couldn't get Digital Folklore at a cheap enough price to hand out. Now, Olia and I will be making a reader to give away)

Tuesday:Day 2

• Install Party: Ubuntu for the newbies and whatever else for the h4x0rz
• Screening of video (extracts):
  • Patent Absurdity: http://patentabsurdity.com/
  • The Net: http://www.amazon.com/Net-Unabomber-LSD-Internet/dp/B000EMGIWI
  • Code swarm
  • 'make art': a selection of lectures from the past editions

Wednesday:Day 3

Command Line introduction with Aymeric. "Never Fear the Terminal"

Thursday: Day 4

Danja and Gordo introduce their thematic project (possible barbecue at the end of the day)

Friday: Day 5

Leslie gives her infamous bicycle tour

Planning Infrastructure

• michael: installation/migration of course wiki (MediaWiki)
  • locating/linking/migrating old thematic project content into wiki
• aymeric: Planet feed accumulator http://www.planetplanet.org/

• wiki templates:
  • aymeric: Create SpiritKindle page(s) as sample

• michael: revised text for "Prototyping" day (for Handbook)
