Lib-Static Symposium Sprint 2021

Description of the first Lib-Static meeting bringing together six library-adjacent static web enthusiasts to conceive this project.

Using a light-weight agile sprint framework, participants in this symposium met over the course of a week in August 2021 to discuss the Lib-Static concept and envision ways and websites through which we can provide resources and assistance for our DH and library colleagues who would like to use static web/minimal computing techniques to develop web projects and templates.

Much of the content for the initial seed of the Lib-Static site was created and curated during this meeting.

Objectives

• Establish supportive and sustainable structures for the nascent Lib-Static community
• Discuss and develop a draft of the Lib-Static website
• Learn from each other’s experiences and outlooks on creating, coding, and teaching with static web tools/techniques to develop library and digital scholarship web projects and templates.

Participants

Marii Nyrop (NYU), Alex Gil (Columbia), Chris Diaz (Northwestern), Evan Williamson (University of Idaho), Devin Becker (University of Idaho), and Olivia Wikle (University of Idaho)
