Submit Your Session Proposals!

Between now and Saturday the 28th, please visit the WordPress site and propose a session and/or workshop: feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/propose/. At an unconference, the program isn’t set beforehand: it’s created on the first day with the help of all the participants rather than beforehand by a program committee. Our first session on Saturday will be setting the schedule and sessions for the rest of the day.

If you haven’t already registered for a free account on the WordPress site but you’ve paid your registration fee via TCU’s Extended Education site, go here and fill out the registration form: feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/register/#registerwp

There are roughly four things people do in THATCamp sessions: Talk, Make, Teach, and Play. Sometimes one session contains elements of all these, but it’s also a fair taxonomy for THATCamp sessions. In a Talk session proposal, you offer to lead a group discussion on a topic or question of interest to you. In a Make session proposal, you offer to lead a small group in a hands-on collaborative working session with the aim of producing a draft document or piece of software. In a Teach session, you offer to teach a skill, either a “hard” skill or a “soft” skill. In a Play session, anything goes — you suggest literally playing a game, or playing around as a group with one or more technologies, or just doing something fun or original.

For examples of sessions, see the Propose page on the site.
