Context
We all met online for the first time, through a web conferencing video call to introduce ourselves as a group of 10 participants:
- Simon Browne

Tools
For the workshop series, the following ancillary infrastructure was created:
- a dedicated MediaWiki instance, this wiki
- a Calibre-web instance, called "parallel library"
- an Etherpad instance for note-taking and communication purposes
- an email mailing list for participants to communicate together: pls[at]post.lurk.org
Activities
We took an "infrastructour” of the digital resources (MediaWiki, Calibre-web and Etherpad); making user accounts and becoming familiar with wikitext, uploading to a digital library and collaborative writing in pads.
Following the wiki tutorial, we added text, links and images to our user pages with MediaWiki syntax:
We also began drafting a Code of Conduct on a pad, which was completed by the next workshop on October 27th. The final draft was later added to this wiki as the PLS Code of Conduct, taking some inspiration from the IFF CoC.
