This page is for initial planning for our proposed workshop in mid-winter 2010 -- a smaller meeting of the board and other interested parties. Emphasis on framing PLOTS and planning, not as much on outreach yet.

Topics:

Outcomes: - action over observation - remediation - policy, litigation, and public opinion

Working with the public - workshops - outreach - ownership - "am I a resident?" - 'spare' time

Online tools - what's worked and what hasn't - legibility and image-based communication - plans for improving publiclaboratory.org - data archiving

Research - the research process: from first explorations to proven in the field - documentation -- guides, videos, publications - attracting collaborators; scaling - building a research culture & research values

Education - summary of existing curricular work - proposed classes - reaching outside the university/school bubble - working on scales longer than a semester

2010 Summer Workshop - planning - location - partner organizations
