cjkainz — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 11:55:08 -0500

As previously announced, the dates for activities related to Workshop Two are 15 October through 18 October 2008. Because we expect a number of new participants to join us for Workshop Two, we're planning a pre-workshop boot camp for late in the afternoon and early evening of 15 October. The formal workshop will begin the morning of Thursday, 16 October, and run through Saturday, 18 October. We will try to adjust the end time of the workshop on Saturday to best accommodate flight times. Additional information regarding the workshop venue, agenda, etc. will be posted when available.

Back when we submitted the proposal, we were concerned about finding 50 or so institutions that would be interested in Bamboo. Well, the community more than exceeded our expectations and as a result, all of the workshops including the additional one at Princeton are now full with a waiting list for open slots. Because this, we are currently exploring ways for those who were unable to obtain a slot at one of the workshops to join in the conversation at a later date or in a different manner.

Institutions and organizations interested in participating in the Bamboo Planning Project are invited to formally join the effort by registering their team for one of the offerings of Workshop One, "Understanding Arts and Humanities Scholarship." Although we encourage teams to attend a workshop together, we realize that individual schedules may not allow that.
