Who Textcamp is aimed at

The curious who want to learn

• You want to ask for help on all manner of things, such as slicing'n'dicing through text, word + network analysis and reformatting - you might even want to learn a little code! (Imagine knowing enough code to be able to plot out the use of a phrase through a set of letters between notable figures?)
• You want to play with the ideas of text and how we can best use the digital resources we have using open technology.
• Want to convert an online text into a book of your very own but want to add a personal touch.

The mutually stumped who want some peer-support

• You've tried to experiment with some ideas but you felt like you hit a roadblock you can't see the solution to? Come along and talk about it - you may find not only a solution to your problem, but that something you talked about inspired, illuminated and solved problems for many of those you talked to. Even the things you might think were trivial. Especially the trivial things.
• You want to try something quite different and want to bounce some ideas off other people who share your interests.

The excited who want to share

• You've been experimenting with academic blogging and have written something that can turn a Wordpress blog post into a LaTeX article, ready for submitting to a journal publisher.
• You've used OCR software like ocropus on videos of people doing presentations and can show how to automatically create readable notes for a video.
• You are carrying on in the footsteps of Brendan McKay making a mockery of the Bible code and others and have found secret prophesies in Wikipedia that you want to share!
• And anything else you feel excited about!

And most importantly, Textcamp is for those who want to not just discuss ideas but get something done at the end of it
