<h2>

Welcome to this workshop! 

</h2>

I am excited to work with so many talented individuals to help further Creative IT and contribute to the community. This letter contains important information on workshop participation and logistics.

There has been a slight change to the structure of this workshop. Rather than having three tracks, we will be focusing our collective efforts on just one: *the Evolving Canon*. In conversations with NSF we agree that it will be constructive to have a somewhat smaller and more focused scope for our discussions.  
Over the coming weeks, we will be having some stimulating discussions on the essential categories, concepts, and literature that inform Creative IT research as we currently understand it. Through discussion, mindmapping, active contributions and refinement of new sections of the Creative IT Wiki , we will develop a deeper familiarity with Creative-IT research agendas and the existing canon that supports them. We will then come to a consensus on the categories that exist and should exist in the Creative IT canon, identifying gaps in the current canon and the opportunities to fill them. Ideally our work this summer should result in a strong report that will readily turn into a journal article.
