CommunityData:CDSC Meetup March 2019

We're meeting in Seattle on March 28-30!

Plan and Preparation
Another group meetup/retreat is upon us! Our tentative plan is to get dinner together on Thursday, meet for an all day critique and feedback session on Friday (followed by some evening fun), and then wrap up with a more open-ended co-working session on Saturday. As usual, the plans may evolve.

Critique and Feedback Sessions
For the critique and feedback sessions we're expecting everybody who wants to participate to submit (a) something in writing (e.g., a paper, a Matsuzaki outline, an extended abstract) and (b) a list of questions or types of feedback you want. Please only submit something you want feedback on!

If you want to participate, you need to email something to collective@communitydata.cc by the end of day on Friday, March 22. Not everybody needs to participate but anybody who does participate should only submit one thing.

We're expecting that everyone attending will have read all the material submitted and will bring notes to the meeting. When we meet, everyone who has submitted something will get at least half an hour (more if possible).

When we meet, the rule will be no presentations and no formal introductions. The plan to just jump in and start answering the questions and talking about thing we've all already read.
