    Tuesday 11/1 6:30pm-8:30pm – Free Software Toolkit: Create Digital Media with André Pitanga (C196.01)
    In this hands-on workshop you will learn about, and experiment with a vast array of high-quality Free Software tools for digital media creation and publishing. You will walk away with your own digital media toolkit, a CD/DVD containing top-shelf, professional software: from audio production, high-resolution graphics to 3D games and beyond! We will discuss and explore new creative options available for DYI media making and the vibrant communities making use of them. Bring your raw media (texts, images, photos, sounds, etc) if you have them, but also your ideas and creativity!

    Wednesday 11/9 6:30pm-8:30pm – Zotero: Snapshots from the Bibliographic Trail with Ben Miller (C196.02 – watch for possible room change)
    In this hands-on workshop you will practice using Zotero, a Firefox plugin out of CHNM that makes it easy to capture and organize bibliographic information, web snapshots, and notes — and to export well-formed citations via drag-and-drop anywhere you can enter text. We’ll also go over some strategies for working with categories and tags, as well as using the cloud-based sync feature for both individuals and groups. (And, if you’ve been waiting or wondering, yes! there is now a beta Standalone version that allows non-Firefox users to share the Zotero love — and integrate it with the browser of your choice.)

    Tuesday 11/15 6:30pm-8:30pm – WordPress with Boone Gorges (C415B)
    Learn more about how WordPress works, and where it stands with respect to its current competitors and the way that web development used to work. You’ll get a brief introduction to different academic/educational use cases for WordPress (like the CUNY Academic Commons). And you’ll learn a little about what makes WordPress so hackable, why hackability matters for academic use, and how you yourself can get started customizing WP.

    Space is limited, so register today!
