   Format: MarkdownItexI recall Konrad mentioning at the end of his talk back in March this year that some of the next steps included constructing a connection on a stringor bundle. Is there anything written out there about connections on 2-vector bundles in general, perhaps only for those represented by finite-dimensional algebra bundles? There's of course this discussion of connections on gerbes but wondering if there are any scattered comments on this somewhere (given that neither [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.12198), nor [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.03900), nor [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.09797) do they address this point).
