2. What are we going to provide by way of
  1. Workshops - this is the most urgent of the group
    1. Finalize workshop timetable for publication
      1. Is this a coherent offering?
        Yes. Publish it and send conformations to presenters (Done - announcement at the weekend).
      2. What about the empty slots?
        ? #86 DevOps Group Therapy as a 90minute w/shop
        Defer a decision on this - leave the slot empty for now.

    3. Continuity and repeat sessions - see Mark Bussey's email forwarded to the list by Richard on 7/18
      1. Should we repeat some Monday material on Wednesday or Thursday?
        Possibly - need to discuss this in a later call
  2. Plenaries
    1. Need to decide what goes here and get speakers
    2. Steering are expecting an email about how best to deal with their hoped-for input
    3. Need to discuss urgently the Mexico presentation - below from Tom
      Alberto is fluent in English, and while I’ve never seen him formally present, he is a veteran of the US and international digital humanities crowds, and very familiar with presentations in the academic community.
      Might this make an interesting plenary address?
      Yes, I think it would be. I suspect Alberto would be amenable to tailoring it to a plenary context as well. In my view, this might mean less of a Collegio de Mexico story, and more emphasis on some of the opportunities Hydra has for bringing on board Latin American sites, adoption challenges for a non-English-language institution, and also what the national repository landscape and requirements are like in Mexico.
      
      Ask Alberto if he would do a 20 minute + questions plenary along the lines suggested by Tom. (Done)
  3. Parallel presentations (and panels)
    1. Need to get a draft timetable for these today if poss
      Started...
