There is limited time during the workshop, so priority is on achieving some escape velocity rather than "completing" a project or "closing" a topic/theme. We will consider it a success if each working group ends the workshop with 1) initial ''<u>progress and momentum</u>'' on the project's goals or a distillation of discussion themes, and/or 2) concrete, energized <u>''plans''</u> for next steps (e.g., "let's keep working on X and [submit it to Y, etc.])

The intent is for progress to be documented on the evolving project/theme pages, which may link to prototypes/wireframes/proposal docs/code repos, or contain reading lists, or other markers of progress to share. Progress will happen via a mix of work sprints (synchronous and asynchronous) over the course of '''Day 1''', along with progress reports and feedback from other workshop participants, and then culminating in a second/final progress report and closing call to action on '''Day 2'''.
The organizing team has synthesized (based on discussions in the pre-workshop phase, as well as workshop submissions) a number of proposed [[Workshop Working Groups]] (3 have coalesced substantially and were created by request from participants, and ~5 are latent/forming).


The following is the current proposed rough schedule (in US Eastern time). The intent is to limit synchronous joint sessions to ~3 hours in the morning of US East timezone, to maximize overlap in schedules across our major time zones.

Progress will happen via a mix of work sprints (synchronous and asynchronous) over the course of '''Day 1''', along with a brief report back, and then culminating in a second/final report back with feedback/discussion from other participants on '''Day 2'''.

==== Detailed instructions ====
* We're expecting several of you to join us for the first time on Saturday (we're glad you're joining us!!), so we've tried to synthesize key entry points in the Discord discussions in the [[Workshop Working Groups]] descriptions. We've also put down some of your names where we thought you might be interested in a working group. Feel free to vote with your feet, though! They are just suggestions.
* Those of you who've already been coalescing into one of the workshop working groups, will join that particular working group. Newcomers can feel free to self-select into any of the proposed working groups according to our suggestions or not (it's ok if some of the latent/forming ones don't gain critical mass; they're just proposals!). We'll make a Zoom breakout room available for you, but you can also choose to do things on Discord.
* Some of the projects will be concrete enough that you'll spend most of your time working on a concrete artifact and documenting progress/resources/challenges in the group page. Other projects/themes might be best approached by discussing/sharing issues/resources, and documenting learnings and questions in the group page.
* Working groups are encouraged to self-organize in the time between Day 1 and Day 2 to continue making progress on projects/discussions.
* The focus of Day 2 is on synthesizing and sharing back what has been accomplished/learned and energy for carrying forward connections/ideas/momentum past the workshop.
