## 2. Reports from each working group
 
### Education & Outreach

* AGM Registration is open see [indico](https://indico.esss.lu.se/event/3289/)
    * ARM wants to make sure that the machine learning sesssion has a "focus" such that at the end there is feasible action items. 
        * Perhaps the goal of the session is unclear to ARM (please clarify if so)
    * Working group updates should be short coverages of what has happened recently. 
    * Constitution - was going to be a vote on it but Adrian Rennie suggested if we should even vote on it. 
        * This section will instead be a "discussion".
    * Format and impulse talks
        * Brian will also present, in addition to those on the list already.
    * FAIR data for reflectometry
        * Add a talk (probably from Jochen) about the .ort file and the metadata that is present in that
    * Update on constitution
    * Should we add an open orsopy discussion?
        * Yes, MS to organise.
    * What should we do to advertise? Other mailing lists
        * The usual suspects
* Webpage redesign plan

###  Data Formats

- Should we be trying to get more using the .ort files?

###  Reproducibility

- ARM spoke with Andrew Caruana and Christy Kinane about the standard samples box. Problems getting the fringy sample -- wait and see.

### Data Analysis
