+# Overview
+
+The sprint runs for 3 days, September 26, 27, and 28th. The main activities will run 9-5 Eastern time (check the
+[start time on worldclock](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2019&month=11&day=5&hour=14&min=0&sec=0&p1=263&p2=136&p3=16&p4=224&p5=145) to confirm time difference). Each day we will have a kickoff in the morning
+at 9 am as one big group, including the remote attendees. Most work through the sprint will be done in smaller groups, who will work
+for a time and then come together to report out and get feedback from other groups. Virtual attendees will have the option to work with other remote attendees, but the majority of the breakout groups will not be hybrid. Breakout groups and objectives will be determined each morning. At the end of each day, a full group, hybrid session will be held to report progress made during the day.
+
+### Remote Participation
+
+We aspire to make the sprint as accessible as possible to remote attendees. At the onsite facility, there are two rooms that should
+have good built-in video conferencing facilities. We will post the information here when we get it. In the agenda below
+any session in **bold** will be in the 'main' room and we be sure the video works. 
+
+All Zoom links to join main room events will be placed here.
+
+## Sprint Objectives
+
+The hourly agenda is still under construction. For now, here are some priority focus areas for this sprint:
+
+### Technical Improvements
+
+This section includes STAC specification improvements as well as STAC tooling ecosystem.
+
+- Close out all open issues in [stac-spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/issues) in order to get to 1.1.0.
+
+- STAC Spec Extensions: reach a consensus on [RFC: A common construct to replace raster:bands and eo:bands](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/discussions/1213) and carry out changes needed based on decision
+
+- STAC Spec Extensions: build new extensions requested in the [new extensions](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/labels/new%20extension) tags
+
+- API Extensions
+- STAC ecosystem improvment to aid STAC: javascript tasks, stac-utils
+
+### STAC Education
+
+- Clean up best practices documents (FAQ page, organization of resources)
+- Tutorial creation for STA users, developers, and data providers
+- [Potential] tutorial translations

+# Overview
+
+One of the areas engineers most often underinvest in is communicating with the world about their work. It is a clear goal of
+STAC to communicate and educate well. For this set of topics we also appreciate any brainstorming 
+and creative ideas on how we can get the word out to diverse audiences more, so feel free to propose more.
+
+## Tutorials/Guides
+
+It is crutial for the expanded adoption of STAC to improve the education ecosystem.
+
+The current STAC official tutorials can be found at [stacspec.org/en/tutorials](https://stacspec.org/en/tutorials/).
+
+More resources can be found at [stacindex.org](https://stacindex.org/).
+
+### STAC Users
+
+**Ideas for tutorials:**
+
+- Browsing STAC Catalogs
+- ...
+
+### STAC Developers
+
+**Ideas for tutorials:**
+
+- Using datasets that have STAC Catlaogs to search and perform analysis using stac ecosystem tooling (stac-utils)
+- ...
+
+### Data Providers
+
+**Ideas for tutorials:**
+
+- Building STAC Catalogs
+- ...
+
+## Best Practices Document Improvements 
+
+The best practice documents: 
+- stac-spec [best-practices.md](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/blob/master/best-practices.md)
+- No best practices document for STAC API (yet) -- should we be creating one?
+
+## STAC Website (stacspec.org) Improvements
+The STAC website is a github repo at https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-site. Tackling any of the 
+[issues raised](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-site/issues) would be a great help. There are also a number of other
+things that are deserving of tickets that haven't been written up yet, but would be awesome to do:
+
+* Add more tools, see [#23](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-site/issues/23) - but ideally we should talk to everyone
+at the sprint to make sure we're not missing any tools there.
+* Better 'stac in action' section. There are more repositories that are up to speed that would be good to include. This should
+also include hosted API instances that people are relying upon (though I think we don't want to have too many that just have
+landsat in them).
+* [sat-api-browser](https://github.com/sat-utils/sat-api-browser) improvements.
+* Mirror the STAC Best Practices document on the site
+* Mirror the STAC Specification on the site
+* Survey all the previous talks / podcasts that have been given on STAC and put links to them on the website. For example 
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emXgkNutUTo, and then the ARD conference has also had STAC talks each year, and recorded them. 
+https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5pzZegqndQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byO0ABXFI4I
+
+### Improved Frequently Ased Questions Page 
+
+During the past two STAC working sessions, the attendees have been building an improved list of STAC FAQs. The current STAC FAQ page is neither up to date nor all encompassing to represent beginer's STAC questions. This page is often where people first go, so we want to make sure the document is top-notch. 
+
+You can find this document [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gM_189NDaDAg7xvNb4R_OhZVcRdquACoHgcaYuuF4hc/edit).
+
+Please feel free to add to responses and add additional questions.
+
+## Presentations
+
+Creating the equivalent of a 'corporate deck' could be a big win - a set of great looking slides that tell the main story. 
+This could be customized as needed by the presenter, but it'd be great to give people a great starting point. This is needed
+for both STAC and OGC API (features and in general).
+
+It'd also be great to brainstorm on different audiences we'd like to present to, and try to come up with a calendar of events
+to hit, and a distributed set of speakers who can attend and talk. This should include podcasts and webinars.

+# About
+
+This directory is a workspace to collaborate and prepare for the STAC sprint. Everyone is welcome
+to edit files and make new workspaces - just make a PR and we will get your information into main. Work will also take place
+in other repositories that are specific to the STAC specifications or ecosystem; this space just serves as a collaboration space
+with a low barrier to entry.
+
+# Meetings to Attend
+
+There are a handful of STAC meetings occurring in the time leading up to the STAC. We encourage STAC sprint attendees to make as many of the upcoming meetings as possible to get everyone as up-to-speed as possible before the sprint.
+
+#### STAC Community Meeting
+
+General meeting about all things stac-spec and stac-api-spec. The meeting consists of (1) intros and updates from each meeting participant and (2) agenda items (created by anyone that attends the meeting).
+
+**Meeting time:** Every other Monday from 11 am - 12 pm EST (1-hour long meeting)
+
+- Monday, August 14th @ 11 am EST
+
+- Monday, August 28th @ 11 am EST
+
+- Monday, September 11th @ 11 am EST
+
+#### STAC Working Session
+
+A two-hour meeting that allows us to dive into a specific task and get some work done while all online. The agenda is preset by the STAC PSC and there are no intros/updates/check-ins.
+
+**Meeting time:** 1st Tuesday of the month from 11 am - 1 pm EST (2-hour long meeting)
+
+- Tuesday, September 5th @ 11 am EST
+
+#### STAC Ecosystem (stac-utils) Meeting
+
+These meetings are relatively new but have proven helpful to the community. The format of this meeting is similar to that of the STAC Community meeting, but instead of discussing the specifications themselves (stac-spec and stac-api-spec), this meeting discusses work being done/needed for the tools built to help interact with STAC.
+
+**Meeting time:** occasional Mondays from 11 am - 12 pm EST (1-hour long meeting)
+
+- Monday, September 18th @ 11 am EST
+
+# Topics
+
+There are three main categories of topics, and each has its own page or directory to go deeper on. These should serve
+to get people working on the topic on the same page before the sprint. Each should have a number of links to give a newer
+user the appropriate background and should attempt to frame the major points of the decision. These will likely be various
+degrees of WIP (work in progress), as everyone is too busy ahead of the sprint, but something started is better than nothing.
+
+* **[Specification Improvements](specification-topics.md)** - Both [stac-spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec) and [stac-api-spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-api-spec) have reached version 1.0.0, yet there are many aspects of each specification to address. Specific topics of work can be found in [specification-topics.md](specification-topics.md).
+
+* **[Ecosystem Development/Implementation](implementation-topics.md)** - The goal of these sprints is to build - software, hosted datasets, testing
+tools, etc - with the specification being a side-effect of people working together. So if people are not sure where to
+contribute then jumping on this area is one of the best. The [implementation page](implementation-topics.md) details the various
+projects people are working on, as well as ideas for new datasets/software, and you can also offer up your skills there.
+Testing and validation are also a part of this.
+
+* **[Outreach & Education](outreach-and-education-topics.md)** - The third major topic is outreach, broadly defined. How do we get more people aware
+of STAC? How do we help those who have just learned about STAC dive into using the specification and tooling around it? Past sprints have done
+things like create the http://stacspec.org website. There are LOTS
+more improvements possible on stacspec.org. Developing tutorials for individuals with a wide range of familiarity with STAC is needed.
