    2. Advance our shared code bases

    3. Mentor one another

    4. Have fun

    5. Close tickets

  3. Code of Conduct applies to this event

  4. Introductions

    1. Usually we go around and have everyone say their name, their pronouns, their institutional affiliation if any, and brief motivation or area of interest. These should be very brief. Host will need to call on people.

  5. Topic introductions - if doing an unconference-style sprint; otherwise have the Tech Lead introduce their priority issues

    1. Each topic with a facilitator; host will call on each in turn

    2. Any topic not on the list. Note-taker should add them to the list as they come forward.

    3. Confirm that each topic has a facilitator; call for facilitators for any that don't have one. Any topic without a facilitator should be removed at this point.

  6. Distribute Participants (if there are multiple issues to work on)

    1. "This is just to give everyone an idea of how many people are interested in each topic"

    2. Ask everyone to find and test the zoom "Yes" button.

    3. To find the "yes" button: Click on participants, it's at the bottom in green. (TODO: Create a slide with a screenshot of the zoom window, and a screenshot of the popup.)

    4. Host will read through the list of topics, participants will raise their hand if interested.

    5. Note-taker will note counts. This helps people gauge whether they want to work on a topic in case, e.g., if you were going to facilitate but there wasn't enough interest to form a group.

    6. You don't have to stay with the same group the entire time. If you've proposed a group but also want to join another group for some amount of time please just keep everyone updated in Slack.

    7. Encourage everyone to take 5, then get a communication channel set up. Remind that each facilitator should add their slack handle to the list on the wiki so anyone wanting to join late knows who to ask in slack.

    8. If people produce any documentation as part of their group work, ask them to link to it from the topics page
