I completely agree, Sarah, and adjuncts and temps are often IN institutions, sometimes the same one for a long time, but without the access (formally or informally) to the same resources as permanent folks…

The last idea in particular is a great one, and one that might be applicable even to folks who work in an institution but have no institutional support–slightly different than what you’re describing, but there’s overlap there, too.

I’ll add a +1 for that last idea.

I did see that. (Now I don’t remember if that’s what I signed up for.) My fear is that the workshop might be too advanced for a git-beginner.

And yes, I think there’s significant overlap in contractor! So yes!

Cool ideas, Marta.

Did you see that one of the Friday workshops is on cool uses of Git? http://chnm2012.thatcamp.org/workshops/ Not that it would preclude a Saturday session.

I may be in a slightly different boat than some people to whom the “temporary” label applies – I’m a contractor rather than an adjunct or post-doc – but I would imagine that there’s significant overlap in the concerns here. I’d be happy to be part of that conversation.
