- Early thoughts about the program
- We do not need to depend only on volunteered sessions: we can commission things
- Should we have a theme for one or more tracks?
- In particular, we have had the suggestion that there should be a 'blue sky' strand that encourages people to look forward rather than just report back on things that have done.
- It was suggested after SC2018 that lightning talks might in future take place alongside the poster session.
- Need to be clear this year about the difference between presentations and panels and which a person is offering.
- Any other business
- Date of next call
