Hi there,
Amidst the sound of tools drilling walls & grinding beams, here we are making a pause in building toilets & showers among others (a pink & black open-access space is being setup, together with a collective kitchen, a meeting space called the "dancefloor", and more), to put out the draft of an agenda. We're not done yet, but..
Maxigas and I have been going through the various content proposals, and came up with a list of discussions/presentations/whatever related to the digital struggles, tried to have it fit within the layered scheme, before merging it with other topics' contents for a first attempt at global program design (which should be available by tomorrow or some- thing).
So here's a first contents list. Have we forgotten anything (or, and Enric, would you actually feel like introducing XSF? :) ?
