Section 5.1 Tentative program at a glance
The below is a placeholder schedule that may see minor adjustments.
All times are Central Daylight Time (CDT). In other words, the time in Texas.
For each talk
Participants are expected to have viewed the three-minute "short video."
Interested parties will have also looked in detail at the additional materials.
During the workshop, there will be a 10-minute period (unless indicted otherwise) of discussion for each talk. That period starts with the speaker discussing the "In conclusion" slide. After that, there will be Q&A session.
It is likely that some "talks" do not draw a full 10 minutes of discussion. In that case, we will move on to the next "talk." Thus, the start of a session is where we synchronize, but within a session we may get slightly ahead of or behind schedule.
Eventually we may add recordings of the discussions to each "talk," with permission of those who participated in the discussion. So, you should feel free to say what you want in front of the workshop audience. If you say something you later regret, then we will work with you to edit that out.
