+# The ship that builds itself: How we used Emacs to develop a workshop for communities

+
+After meeting at EmacsConf 2020, and since then, convening weekly as
+the Emacs Research Group, we gained a lot of experience working across
+disciplines.  Building on our long-running small-group experience, we
+developed a strategy for engaging others in the kind of light creative
+work that we value because we want to share our patterns for building
+effective joyful action.
+
+Our new day-long workshop brings people together around a topic of
+shared interest.  We use a scenario-development and exploration
+process to help participants understand their common ground and
+discover new ways to work together.  In this talk, we will give an
+overview of recent workshops we’ve run on themes linked to public
+space and future studies and how we utilize Emacs for our research.
+
+Looking back at our recent pilots as a source of evidence, we’ll look
+at whether and how the methods we used helped people quickly identify
+core themes that they want to keep working on together.  While we
+don’t expect everyone to meet weekly as we did, we do expect that
+some participants will leave energised.  Underlying the workshop is
+the claim that the right combination of methods should help people
+find topics of priority that they want to get traction on, for
+example, breaking down a topic like "public space" into doable actions
+like cleaning up an abandoned lot.  Does the evidence so far support
+this claim?
+
+We also reflect on how technology — including the further evolution of
+Emacs — could help people be even more effective at identifying and
+addressing challenging problems.  As a small example, note-taking in
+real-time with CRDT helps us practice ‘active listening’ in our
+meetings and gives us a detailed record of what happened so that we can
+return to for further reflection and analysis.  As we think about the
+other affordances of Emacs, we get excited about how more advanced
+data analysis and more structured interaction patterns could aid in
+going back over our old thoughts and getting more out of the time we
+spend together.  One potential application would be forming bridges
+between the different community groups, we work with.
