The goal of this phase is to <u>''generate and converge''</u> on a set of ~6 project proposals that participants will be excited to begin working on during the workshop and complete after the workshop.

Projects are how we describe tangible outcomes to aim for. They can be (combinations of):
Projects are how we describe tangible outcomes to aim for. Examples of tangible outcomes include (but are not limited to):


* '''Resources''', such as a system map/synthesis of the problem space, synthesis/directory of tools, essential reading list, case study library, or shared synthesis benchmark dataset

* '''Organization''', such as a new organization, or convening of a community
* '''Organization''', such as a new organization, or convening of a community
We expect some/many projects to be combinations of these outcome themes/types. We also recognize many of you are coming in with existing tools and prototypes and workflows, so it's totally ok to have "compound projects" (e.g., joint/coordinated prototypes, or joint/coordinated pilot tests of a similar question/feature across a few tools)!


You can see an example project page (in a state we hope for at the end of this pre-workshop phase) here: [[Example Project Page]]

You will be assigned to an initial "table" with other participants to seed initial discussions. The tables are unnamed, but they are not random! The organizers have carefully chosen a mix of people that we think will kickstart a fruitful conversation that can lead to project ideas. NOTE: these are initial seatings, that you can feel free to change! You don't have to stay in your table either! Think of this as a potluck dinner party where we give you an initial seating, but you should feel free to float around, change tables, and start new discussions - whatever brings the right group together for the conversation you want to have!

Each table will have an assigned organizer who will moderate and scaffold the discussion to converge towards a project idea associated with 1) one or more <u>''champions'' and fellow ''collaborators''</u>, 2) a <u>''project channel''</u> on the Discord, and 3) a <u>''project page''</u> here on the wiki.

The organizers will help you get these set up!


We estimate that participation per week should amount to (spread out across the days/weeks) ~1-2 hrs per week: one way to think about this is to divert some of the time you would spend thinking/discussing these issues on Twitter or in the lab or in your own notebooks/sketchbooks or elsewhere to the shared Discord and wiki for the ~1-2 weeks prior to the workshop.
