I'm a digital historian, web developer and cultural data hacker who's been developing online resources relating to archives, museums and history since 1993. I've written on weather, progress and the atomic age, and developed resources including Bright Sparcs, Mapping our Anzacs and The History Wall. I'm currently working as a freelance troublemaker, as well as being an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Digital Design and Media Arts Research Cluster at the University of Canberra. I'm also a member of the interim committee of the new Australian Association for the Digital Humanities.

Time to get the ideas flowing!
With just over a week to go (eeek!), it’s time for THATCampers old and new to start putting forward some ideas for sessions.
THATCamp is an unconference, remember? That means the schedule, the program and the content is all up to you. What do you want to talk about? What problems are you facing in your research? What new technologies have you been playing with? If you need some more ideas go to THATCamp central.
Registered campers have accounts on this blog, so you can log on and start posting your ideas straight away.

Thanks to our sponsors
THATCamp Canberra is only possible due to the generosity of our sponsors. Like last year, THATCamp Canberra 2011 is being supported by the Digital Design + Media Arts Research Cluster at the University of Canberra.
But we’re also pleased and proud to announce that THATCamp Canberra 2011 is being sponsored by the National Museum of Australia and the National Library of Australia. It’s great to see our national cultural institutions getting involved in the digital humanities.
