 ### Purpose
 
-This two-day workshop for editors and maintainers of academic discipline and institutional software registries and repositories brings those who run these services together to continue work started in conference calls earlier this year. We feel there is substantial benefit in sharing our work methods, marketing ideas, and communication practices, as doing so can speed improvements to each of the respective services, making them more efficient and better able to meet the needs of their disciplines. This workshop's goals are to demonstrate unique aspects of our respective services, discuss challenges and share solutions to common issues that arise in managing our resources, finalize a list of best practices for our resources, and work cooperatively to speed adoption of the CodeMeta and/or CFF standards. A software developer knowledgeable about CodeMeta and CFF will be available at the workshop and in the weeks following to assist those software services editors and managers who want to implement the production of these files for their holdings.
+The 2025 SciCodes Scientific Software Registry Collaboration Workshop, to be held April 9-11, 2025 in Washington, DC, will bring together managers and editors of a diverse set of scientific software registries and repositories. It will be a small event with 20 invited participants due to the workshop’s needs and goals, venue capacity, and funding. The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has provided funding for the workshop and symposium, and the University of Arizona will providing the Washington, DC venue.
 
-This workshop is the first effort focused specifically on and for discipline-specific software registries and repositories and leverages other ongoing efforts to improve software citation, including the work of the [FORCE11 Software Citation Implementation Working Group](https://github.com/force11/force11-sciwg), [Working toward Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experience (WSSSPE)](http://wssspe.researchcomputing.org.uk/), and the [CodeMeta](https://codemeta.github.io/) and [Citation File Format](https://citation-file-format.github.io/) projects.
+A half-day pre-workshop symposium will reflect on the current state of the research software ecosystem. Through a keynote presentation and panel and open discussions with attendees, it will help better refine the tasks and final products of the in-person workshop. The symposium has greater in-person capacity (up to 50) and will also offer remote attendance.

+### Mini-symposium
+
+A hybrid mini-symposium will reflect on the current state of the research software ecosystem. This will help better refine the goals of and final products from the in-person workshop 
+
+The half-day symposium invites a wider range of diverse voices from the research software engineering (RSEng), funder, and science communities we serve, and will focus on the long term vision and aspirations for research software and computational science (e.g., frictionless reuse). This will help inform subsequent workshop activities and provide concrete guidance on development priorities for our individual science gateways, registries, and repositories. The symposium will offer remote access, and will include a keynote, panel discussion, and facilitated open discussion with all attendees, both in-person and remote.
