Hi GOSHers!
The gathering working group has been cranking hard to get you all a fun set of days in Panama! In the same way that anarchy does not mean chaos, having an unconference doesn’t mean there is no schedule! In fact we have to plan even more in how to create a solid structure that has spaces for you all to freely explore as a community!
This is still a working draft, so feel free to toss in feedback, but here’s an early look at what to expect over thr 4 days of GOSH in Panamá! Expect activities! Field trips! Workshops! And hopefully lots of cool animals to see!
