There might be a new campaign from SSHRC IDRC that could work. I should know more this work.

Hi all,

We have great news to report! Casa de las Americas recently agreed to
host the event. We were waiting for confirmation before delving into the
planning in earnest. The event will likely take place on the second week
of November. Our organizing committee is fully formed, with two teams,
one in Cuba, one international.
The Cuban team:Sandra Alvarez RamírezYasmín S. Portales MachadoMilena
Recio SilvaLuis Rondón PazMaité Hernádez Lorenzo
The International team:Sonya Donaldson (Jamaica)Rachel Finn (USA)Amanda
French (USA)Alex Gil (Republica Dominicana)James Neal (USA)Amilcar
Priestley (Panama)Mamyrah Prosper (Haiti)Marta S. Rivera Monclova
(Puerto Rico)German Vargas (Puerto Rico)
The Cuban team will be in charge of local logistics and local
advertising. We will try to arrange for hotels and room rentals (a more
economic option). Casa de las Americas is centrally located and it is
easy to reach it from many different quarters. Local advertising will
hopefully draw campers from the cities and the countryside.
The international team will be in charge of fundraising and running the
site. The site will be run in both Spanish and English. We are still
working out the translation duties. We will also try to have a version
of the site that can operate on low bandwidths. Fundraising is a major
goal of this THATCamp because it helps us attract scholars and students
from the Caribbean. We hope to be even more aggressive than on last
year’s THATCamp. We are also placing few limits on the range of possible
funders. We do have to consider that some funders are out of the
question because on their relationship to Cuba.
The whole team will soon meet to decide on registration dates and
admission caps! Stay tuned for more.
