Key points of discussion
thesis inclusion:
- one publication: projects
- one publication: projects + full theses
- one publication: projects + theses excerpts
- one + 1/2 publications: projects, theses printed individually (assemble your own reader by choosing the ones you're interested in)
- two publications: projects, theses
formats:
may be subject to the publication group and not entire class
- website
- web to print
- how does this relate to: https://project.xpub.nl/ ?
- what is the role of the exhibition itself and material we 'need' for it? (exhibition website, flyer etc) how (if at all) do grad pub and exhibition material relate to another?
Proposed Prototypes
1. portal hopping (content)
User:Eleni/Collective Publication Prototype
Method: 'Portal Hopping' exchanging methodologies by entering each others (research) universe
implementation:
- every student has a mini booklet
- in there a protocol, performed by other students + documented
- snippets of the thesis and documentation of the project
Thesis: not fully included or in separate publication
2. the glossary we never made (content)
https://hub.xpub.nl/cerealbox/~kim/gradpub-prototype/
Method: agreeing on common terms, project (excerpts) that relate to this term are presented next to it and become its explanation (could possibly be extended into theses as well)
implementation:
- coming up with overlapping terms
- selecting snippets of our project (documentation, process ...) and assign them to the terms
- breaking up linearity / separation: projects are not presented individually but only through terms
Thesis: variable
3. Chrissy (form)
organizing content parallel, interacting with each other, breaking up with fixed sequentiality of book
sticker sheet with a sticker of each project
Interviews + Projects
commenting section could be interacting with the main text
things can run in parallel

4. Feline & Martina (form)
2 books in 1: process book + theses book
(layout and how content is organized / selected still open)

5. GitPub (form + process)
- assuming we make a html to print publication (markdown files as input format)
- keeping track of changes, files etc we compile them in a git repository
- students could upload and update their own project files (or protocols or glossary terms etc)
- using git produces metadata such as author names, dates, commit messages
- including the metadata in the grad publication it becomes a record or our process of making
