How to form a THATCamp Coordinating Council

When the grant funding for the THATCamp project runs out at the end of March 2014, my position as THATCamp Coordinator will also end.

Geospatial Showcase

Anyone who wants to participate can spend a few minutes showing a map they made—and preferably, actually rendering the map in front of everyone else.

Policies and Safe Spaces for Diversity

Last August, Kate Losse wrote a brief post about how “breaking things” is a white male privilege. I’ve kept coming back to this post the last month or so. For years, I’ve been telling people to not be afraid to break stuff. That’s how I learned how to much much of the work I’ve been doing […]
