Workshop Program & Particepants

 Approximately a quarter of the workshop will be reserved for discussion time. These will be organized using an “unconference” format where participants will be able to suggest discussion topics at the time of discussion. These could span from discussion of specific line diagnostics to tutorials on of different modeling or analysis tools.

While a conference proceeding can be a nice record of a meeting, having to write individual conference proceeds can be a burden for participants. Alternatively, we plan to jointly write an “unconference” proceeding. On the final day of the workshop we will schedule time to break into groups based on session and discussion topics to jointly write a short summary of what was presented and discussed at the workshop. Afterwards the organizing committee will edit the document, archive it on OpenRiver, and submit it to the arxiv.

The Unconference Proceeding from the FSL2015 meeting held at the MPIA in Heidelberg, Germany is available here.

On Thursday evening a conference dinner will be planned. In the afternoon on Thursday, before the conference dinner, there will be a couple of hours free for participants to experience Winona. Immediately prior to the conference dinner we will take a boat trip aboard the Cal Fremling on the Mississippi River. 

 Between 2 pm and 4 pm on Thursday folks will be free. We have arranged a couple of options for activities for folks to participate in (weather dependent):
