eh, I'm not sure if my message was clear, I'm not so interested in 
attending a GDAL/OGR FOSS4G workshop; although I might be interested in 
helping with such a workshop in the topic of GDAL/OGR Swig if someone 
wants to suggest such -- I think that would also directly help me in my 
teaching at TKK

But definitely a GDAL/OGR developer BoF is interesting to me.

If I find money that I can use for this purpose, I could give you the 
reason ;-) BTW, what would be the price tag on something like this?

This is a topic that I would be interested in attending a workshop. My 
practical knowledge on WFS or GML is rather slim.
