I need to SSH my Pi over wifi but because it is a model A board (using a usb hub is not possible - ever) and I have no ethernet, i can't configure the Pi to connect to my secured wifi network.  I want to have the SD card plugged into my laptop and I want to edit a file with the wifi configuration information in it so my Pi will connect to my network automatically at start-up so I can then SSH it to get control. I know how to enable SSH on a headless system thanks to this answer.

Edit.
Ive been searching around and I'm wondering if I'm able to just edit the file /etc/network/interfaces while the SD card is in my PC and put in all the network ssid, psk and wlan0 stuff in it.  Will this work? Thanks


Question: What is done in a workshop? How does it differ from an academic conference?
Answer: In CS subfields related to HCI and related topics of communication between users and software, a workshop is almost the same as a conference, that is, there are speakers who give talks about their papers. However, the following differences can be observed:

Organisational:


A workshop lasts just one or half a day.
A workshop is "embedded" into a conference; it doesn't take place on its own, but it takes place at the day before or after the main conference. Sometimes, conference registration includes workshop registration.
The audience tends to be much smaller. This is partially because often, several workshops are scheduled at the same time, and partially, because not all conference guests attend any workshops (especially when the workshop needs to be registered and paid for separately). In any case, it is not untypical for smaller workshops to have just a handful of attendees, each of which will present something.


Contents:


There is less of an expectation of presenting fully finished work. Work in progress, or results based on a preliminary study, are usually accepted, if not explicitly invited.
Likewise, remarks about future work can be a bit more central than in normal talks, as the workshop may prove as an opportunity to find collaborators who would like to help tackle the suggestions for future work.
While conference sessions typically feature an opportunity for questions and answers on every single paper right after each talk, workshops sometimes schedule an additional (sometimes considerable in duration) wrap-up discussion that is supposed to provide some time for discussing everything that was presented during the workshop, identifying common issues and chances, and possibly developing ideas for further work together.
