Title

Omeka Playdates

Description

The Omeka team held "playdates" in 2009 and 2010 which were a type of workshop that taught participants how to use the platform. The Omeka team also sought targeted feedback on the code development, user interface design, user experience, and use case scenarios for digital humanities and digital cultural heritage projects.

The playdates scheduled the day before THATCamp were popular, and inspired others to run workshops that become THATCamp Bootcamps.
