Mission

At the canSAS-V meeting in Washington DC in the fall of 2007, the canSAS community (collective action for nomadic small angle scatters) continued the trend started at the previous meeting in the UK of moving the discussion beyond data formats to discuss the variety of issues that affect SAS practioners worldwide. At that meeting, participants also started discussing how to build a community of practitioners and to move beyond discussions at meetings to sustainalble longer term action and achievents that respond to themes and issues identified at these meetings; moving beyond talk to the action in its name. Several working groups were set up to continue working after the meeting. Since that 2007 meeting, this wiki and web pages were set up and the working groups have moved forward and in the summer of 2012 a small workshop (with the focus on "work") was held at Uppsala to advance the work of three of the working groups. Progress has been presented at the intnernational SAS meeetings in Oxford in 2009 and Sydney in 2012.

At this meeting the community is invited to come together again as a larger group outside of the distractions of another meeting to discuss how issues have evolved and what the current challenges are for the community. In that vein the community is encouraged to participate early in shaping the content of the meeting by suggesting topics and speakers/discussion group leaders. Once again we hope to leave the meeting with plans for moving forward with some action. Again the plan is to have a session at the 2015 SAS meeting in Berlin to report on this meeting.
