Timeline of Digital Diversity
by Alex Gil 10 May '15

10 May '15

Hi all, The Digital Diversity <http://digitaldiversity2015.org/> conference happening right now in Edmonton needs our help! They’ve started to create a timeline and map <http://cwrc.ca/digitaldiversity2015/> dedicated to digital diversity, but it’s just a start, and it’s limited in terms of geographical and linguistic diversity. They would love our help in fleshing it out to represent a truly global range of events, activities, travesties, and achievements from multiple perspectives. They’re asking our community to join participants at the conference in creating events to add to the timeline. It’s easy to do either with a plain text editor or an XML editor, and contributed events will be uploaded at least twice a day while the conference is on. The timeline will be launched at the close of the conference on Saturday at 6:30 MDT, but contributions after that time will still be most welcome. Please consider contributing one or more events that express your understanding of digital diversity. Instructions can be found here: http://digitaldiversity2015.org/digital-diversity-timeline/ The DD team thanks you in advance! Let us know if you have questions. All best, >From Susan Brown and me.
