| | 9 | • MOAR [sic] please. Round II: Technology Liberation! |
| | 10 | • I felt inspired and learned a lot. Great networking opportunity. |
| | 11 | • Great facilitation. |
| | 12 | • It was long and the room needed to be mixed up more than once so we could have a range of expertise/experience shared. |
| | 13 | • Progressive discussion on this topic with very bright minds in the room. |
| | 14 | |

| | 19 | Comments: |
| | 20 | • I really loved the small group discussion. Will take back tech tools to my shop. |
| | 21 | • Discussion after panel could have been moderated a bit more strategically. |
| | 22 | • Presentations were a bit unprepared and scattered, but very informative |
| | 23 | • Demo? Loved the discussion. I felt the “demo”session would have been more useful with a screen projector of the tool (a tutorial, but a visual demo) |
| | 24 | • Great ideas and perspective. Facilities challenge and also facilitation challenged |
| | 25 | • PMA is hard! Not totally clear how to process |
| | 26 | • I wish there was a lot more time for the panel because they asked the right questions. |
| | 27 | • Lightning rounds are good, but did not allow for any literal tech demos |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | 3. Was there anything missing from the discussion or demonstrations? |
| | 31 | • There could have been more effort to hear from people working directly on or in the tech industry. |
| | 32 | • Never enough time |
| | 33 | • Guidelines of engagement might help set context; step up/step back – use the whoa!; oppression exists but not here. Our practice – we resist |
| | 34 | • Not really! |
| | 35 | • No |
| | 36 | • There was a lot said, still observing (something scribbled) |
| | 37 | • Demonstration of the tools presented (which look great) would have been useful. |
| | 38 | • Practice – hands on with! More space for what people are working on. Could have asked: “What do YOU need?” |
| | 39 | • The time to get to understand where other folks experiences in tech came from (even though there was no hint of bias) |
| | 40 | • Maybe, for the tech demo to have the tools shown on the screen |
| | 41 | • Full day of conversation instead of a 1-hour workshop |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | 4. What did you like best or find most useful/interesting about the presentation? |
| | 44 | • International perspectives |
| | 45 | • Learning from everyones experience and perspective |
| | 46 | • Leadership in convening this space is huge. Than you this feels like the beginning. ☺ |
| | 47 | • The tech tools. Loved Rasha’ framing from the beginning. |
| | 48 | • The chance to have meaningful discussion with such a great group of folks. |
| | 49 | • Thought provoking |
| | 50 | • More time, perhaps more realistic division of agenda time |
| | 51 | • Action points/breakouts in the afternoon. Collaborative preparation of the “document” |
| | 52 | • Great diversity of experience and curiosity of spirit. |
| | 53 | • Open sharing, passion and commitment. Thanks for doing it and my participation. |
| | 54 | • The demos and group discussion because of the selection of who was in the room and how they framed their points. |
| | 55 | • Everything! |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | 5. Do you have any suggestions for improvements? |
| | 58 | • More facilitation support/prep. Agreement among facilitators about shared practice/structure to hold folks in the space. |
| | 59 | • The room was difficult – I couldn’t see everyone and felt disconnected sitting in the back. But I know that was a logistical problem with the room. |
| | 60 | • Make the PA process more clear, especially the understanding that we’re crafting a statement. |
| | 61 | • “What are you working on?/What do you need?” |
| | 62 | • I would like to see more speaking roles from global partners… |
| | 63 | |
