Disclaimer:
We prepared too many questions and materials, so we think of today as a day of spending time together with a platform and some of the concerns it raises, but not all.
For the hands-on workshop, we'll work with break-out rooms although we are aware of it being a policing gesture embedded in the tool. but as we propose to look at this platform, we find it interesting to experience.
We chose to works with external etherpads though, due to diversity and accessibility reasons.
