Focus: Research and Writing

Tinderbox Weekend

This Tinderbox weekend will focus on using Tinderbox for research, writing, and scholarship — from planning and brainstorming to document export. We'll range broadly across Tinderbox features, from planning with maps and outlines to designing networks of collaborative agents.

We’ll explore new Tinderbox feature of special interest in research, including access to external resources, set attributes, using stamps for qualitative analysis. We’ll also examine Tinderbox export to the Web and to print. Tinderbox stretchtext and other advanced techniques will be made simple.

Included in the course materials will be Mark Bernstein's new volume, The Tinderbox Way, a 240-page book that explores Tinderbox from the foundations of its design to the latest techniques and practices for using Tinderbox to make, analyze, and share notes.

The weekend will include plenty of material for people new to Tinderbox, and we’ll have lots of examples of Tinderbox applications in diverse fields. (Speakers are subject to change)

We're Making Plans!

Who'll be there?

Tinderbox weekends are small, informal gatherings of Tinderbox enthusiasts from throughout the country -- and indeed the world. Some will be Tinderbox beginners, some will be experts.

Mark Bernstein, Tinderbox's designer, will lead sessions and will be available throughout for discussions.

What if I can't possibly come this weekend?

We're going to offer a corresponding membership to people who simply cannot make it in person. Think of this as a sign of support for Tinderbox.

We'll send you handouts -- either on paper or CD -- and perhaps we'll be able to set up an electronic link during part of the meeting to field your questions. It'll be much better to attend, but if you simply can't make it, a corresponding membership might be nice.

I Have A Great Idea For A Session!

Special Deal for Alumni?

What time?

We start at 10am on Saturday, and run to approximately 5:00. After a brief rest, many of us will get together for an informal blogger dinner. Other bloggers and Tinderboxers are welcome, too!

On Sunday, we start at 9:30 and continue to 3:00.

What's included?

A copy of The Tinderbox Way, and handouts — including a CD filled with exclusive sample files and screencasts.
