      • Write the status report

      • Do a Q&A

      • What are we trying to achieve?

    • Have people share what they’re working on (30s videos) - who they are, what org they represent, what they’re working on

    • Ali: What are we trying to achieve? Could we come up with a few goals at the conference

    • Shelly: Highlight visible stuff: product descriptions that are up for feedback, for example

      • You don’t have to participate in the group, you can participate at your own level!
