Nomina

 It is through  Nomina workshops that the concept of GNA has been articulated and refined. Theworkshops are occasional, and  bring together individuals and initiatives concerned with the development of GNA.  The workshops are used to develop the architecture, as codefests to make progress, to refine existing components, or to promote new collaborations. Nomina workshops are not centrally organized, and any individual or group of people wanting to convene a Nomina workshop are free to do so.  It is recommended that workshops be developed in consultation with some of the regulars.
