Balisage calendar
Published by The annual markup geekfest that is Balisage is happening next week! I’ve published the schedule in an .ics file again this year.
If you aren’t familiar with Balisage, I will quote its opening blurb:
Balisage: where serious markup practitioners and theoreticians meet every summer. If you are happy to be the person in your project who understands the angle brackets and stuff, then you are a markup geek and Balisage is the place for you. Even if you are NOT a markup geek, if you find it instructive to spend time with them now and then, you will enjoy Balisage.
It’s my favorite of the annual markup-related and markup-adjacent conferences, but, full disclosure, I’m on the conference committee. It’d be my favorite anyway, but I’m not claiming complete impartiality!
I expect this year’s conference will be a bit of a roller coaster, emotionally. It sort of always is for me, but especially this year as we lost Michael Sperberg-McQueen just after the conference last year. 😭
I discovered when I started to write this post that the last time I published the ICS calendar file for Balisage was in 2021, the year that Michael and I coauthored Interactivity Three Ways. I’m sure I created it in subsequent years, but apparently I never published it.
I have published the .ics file this year. I think you can also subscribe to the calendar from iCloud. It’s a “webcal” URI, so I hope that’s at least a little bit portable.
As before, the calendar is generated automatically from the online schedule-at-a-glance.
Balisage is all virtual again this year, so I hope to see you there!
