Schedule
Overview
Each session (with the exception of the welcoming and wrapup sessions) is split into two parts of equal length.
The first half of a session is a mix of brief edge case presentations, followed by group discussion. The edge cases are meant to help seed the discussions. If needed, the session coordinators will keep the discussion on topic.
The second half of a session is structured as a breakout - people self-organize into groups to work on particular issues or areas of interest.
During each session, we'll work to record and otherwise document what we learn. In particular, we want to capture things like:
- what was discussed?
- what needs to be researched?
- what do the discussions make us want to do?
- who should we share this information with?
- what things are urgent and critical?
