@scearley
And yet on Google Scholar only my thesis & my published article show up
@scearley
They emailed me again today trying to get me to upgrade. I have a seriously hard time believing that 110 people have mentioned me
@Jules I'd be interested ...
@lufthans But man I'm sure you were so happy with that one student :)
I got my first pull request guys! This feels important somehow.
@Betsy24 @JimG We've considered filming the workshop length tutorials and posting them online. To teach it online we'd still need a university to go through. While we've gotten positive responses to our workshop, I'm afraid that the audience for workshops wouldn't stick it out for a 10 week course. I'm just starting on this though, so we'll see where it takes me :)
@mikeburns @clacke @cwebber
Thank you to all of the unpaid students who don't get enough credit!
@JimG Me too...
@JimG We just need to find a university to hire us to teach it ;)
It includes extra credit if their final project contributes to an existing community outreach group, FOSS project, or to OER or the academic commons
I spent a good chunk of the day writing a syllabus for a hypothetical class that I would like to teach some day instead of grading quizzes for the actual current class that I'm a reader/grader for. Sigh.
On the up side, I've got a full syllabus drawn up for a course on digital humanities (extendabe into digital projects in other fields too) that teaches Racket and Scribble, the command line, version control, and licensing to non programmers & culminating in creating their own digital projects
... and @cwebber 's talk on network freedom!

Mastodon makes an appearance in the talk, and you'll notice that the fsf uses a mediagoblin instance to share these videos!
Hey everyone, the Libre Planet session videos are up! Here's the link to our panel on Free Software in academia! https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/free-software-in-academia/
@deeds @cwebber Hi! Sorry about the delayed response, I've been in post-conference catch-up mode. We're moving to Easthampton this summer (partially for more adjunct opportunities).
I'm an Art History PhD candidate and I've been directing a DH project for the last three years (https://ramsay.arthistory.wisc.edu/). This year we've developed and run two successful workshops to teach basic programming to humanities students using Racket & Scribble. We'll have follow up workshops in Madison this semester.
This year, for the first time my wife went with me to LibrePlanet and saw for herself the generous and fascinating Free Software community, then at the digital humanities workshop got a friendly introduction to programming. Two disparate sides of my life have now met.
Special thanks to @cwebber and @mlemweb for their generosity, caring, and ingenuity!
@mlemweb and I ran another great "Programmable Publishing" workshop w/ Racket and Scribble today. It went well, everyone was very enthusiastic, the Red Hat office was a nice location, Ben Greenman (a Racket contributor/researcher) kindly helped as a volunteer. Lots of fun, and lots of people encouraging us to continue. Yay!
@musicmatze yes there will! I'll post the links when they're up
@stochastix Excellent, if you're ever in Madison and want to discuss Free Software in academia, let me know :)
My favorite person is talking about decentralized social media at Libre planet! @cwebber
