== Organization ==
Another group meetup/retreat is upon us! Our tentative plan is to get dinner together on Thursday if folks are in town and available. On Friday morning we'll start with a small number of '''research presentations''' from affiliates and visitors as a way of getting to know folks. After those, we'll move into '''critique and feedback''' sessions followed by some evening fun. On Saturday we will host '''unconference sessions''' on whatever folks want to talk about and/or work on. As always, the plans may evolve shift.

=== Research Presentations ===

For the first time, we're planning to invite a small number of more formal talks from CDSC affiliates and visitors. There are two goals with these presentations: (a) introduce yourself and your research interests to the group; (b) present finished research to teach us something new! We've got a maximum of ~20 minutes per presentation (and it's a hard maximum) but you are welcome to use less time—especially if you are interested in presenting unfinished work in a C&F session.

=== 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, these sessions will be run with ''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.

Proposed norms:
* '''Take the entire group as an audience''': the best feedback is beneficial or thought-provoking to the group as a whole, prompts group discussion/consideration, asks a question, etc.
* If the author is your only audience, '''be practical and actionable for the project's current stage'''. Early-stage work is expected to be a little unpolished and crunchy, and proposing a large new branch of analysis for a nearly-complete work should be approached with a scoping statement (Must this be done for the work to be valid? Or are you proposing a follow-up line of inquiry to be stated in the Future Work section?)
* '''Don't dogpile''' -- time is short, so even positive plus-ones should be brief: don't repeat what others have said, don't feel the need to chime in or pile on a critique: it is assumed that you read the paper and are supportive of the author.
* '''Avoid vaguebooking'''. "Framework needs some work" or "Lacking some flow" isn't as useful as "I don't think you're getting a lot out of using Foucault, Latour, and Habermas here, and explaining them is pretty heavy -- maybe you can get away with just invoking Benkler and moving on" and experience-grounded comments like "When you transitioned from section 2 to section 3, and half-way through section 4, I ended up flipping back to the abstract to figure out what was going on".
* '''Don't narrate the typo you found on line 156''': feedback best conveyed via a marked-up draft should be delivered via a marked-up draft.

=== Unconference ===

An [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference unconference] is a participant driven meeting format where folks can organize sessions on any time they want. On Saturday morning we'll plan to have ~5 1-hour long sessions and 3-4 rooms/spaces. We won't set the schedule until Saturday morning but ideas for sessions you'd like to attend or run include:

<div style="column-count:2;-moz-column-count:2;-webkit-column-count:2">
* Working with Spark on [[Hyak]]
</div>

<div style="column-count:2;-moz-column-count:2;-webkit-column-count:2">
* Revising the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_community online community] Wikipedia page
