Workshop topics - based on your inputs!

[Khan, Alim]

Dear all,

You may be interested to know how the preparations for the workshop are coming along.  As we enter the final stages, I just wanted to share with you a process note, in case you were wondering how your contributions have been taken into account.

The excellent responses to the survey we circulated earlier have been gathered together, along with the messages to the workshop mailing list, and clustered into topic areas. Your responses and postings themselves appear on the workshop wiki (which we will set up onsite), organized into topic areas. And these topic areas will form the basis for groupwork on the first day of the workshop.

You'll receive all the necessary information to access the wiki, along with some other workshop materials, at the start of the workshop next week.  Please note that registration starts at 8:30am on Tuesday, December 9, 2008, as per the attached agenda.

So thank you to all for your thoughtful responses and postings, we have primed our upcoming time together to be very productive and on-target for your needs and interests.

kind regards,
Alim
