All materials used and generated at the Collaborations Workshop 2011, and the materials generated by the work after the workshop, will be listed on this page and made available for download.
Outcomes
Outcomes are changes that will make the life of the researcher easier. They were collected from the reporting back slides and discussions that took place during and after the workshop. The outcomes will be acted on by the Software Sustainability Institute over the coming year.

Breakouts
The final breakout agenda shows when each breakout took place and approximate number of attendees.
A single slide that was presented to show how breakouts work is also available.
The reporting back template, used by the attendees to record what was discussed at each breakout, is also available.
