Timeline

Moderator: Henning Sprang will be responsible to take care that we (roughly)keep in line with the agenda. Talk to him if you see the need for spontaneous changes in the course of the workshop.

TODO: When will we do and discuss what.

Will be defined in details by Mrfai around beginning october

In general we will have:

  • At the start of the meeting: Starting meeting - people introduce themselves, tell about their interests to work on, workgroups are built, final schedule outlined
  • Somewhere in the middle: Discussion about general ideas for the further FAI development
  • End: Discussion about progress made on the work topics - what did we reach - what will happen with the topics not done yet, how will the workgroups continue working on them
