    Dear Guido,<br>
    <br>
    looks like you spent a lot of time on twitter - makes me confident,
    that things are going well ;-)<br>
    <br>
    In general no problem with TGP-attendees having to pay at least some
    money for the workshops - that makes you sure, that people will
    attend. And of course I can understand your matters about your
    financial plannings ;-)<br>
    <br>
    So, if we can have a discounted price, it would be great, if we
    could announce it with the TGP announcement.<br>
    <br>
    So far!<br>
    <br>
    Till<br>

        <div>Just want to jump in here as a representative from the
          workshop committee. To be clear, the workshop budget is a
          standalone budget from the rest of the conference. I believe
          that we did a good job at keeping the costs low for these
          sessions, giving a lot of chances for people to get training.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I would support offering a discounted price for workshops,
          but I would not recommend just throwing these in for free as
          that would disrupt the financial models on which our planning
          depended on.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I hope this helps.</div>

            great news! If we also get the workshops under the hood all
            is well. Regarding the "voluntary contribution" honestly
            does not help anyway, as we have a very short timeframe

            I do not think we have a kind of logo and/or brand yet, so
