Implementation and Technical Support
This track centers on the technical aspects of working with Pachyderm, including open source development, server installation, template creation and modification, connections with other systems, and new Pachyderm features.
Proposals for breakout sessions are encouraged in any of the following areas, but this list is not exhaustive and selections will not be limited to these topics:
- Tips and tricks for working with Pachyderm or digital media
- Case studies and showcases of finished pieces
- Examples of integrating Pachyderm materials into educational settings
- New development work your institution is doing on the Pachyderm software or templates
