<P><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial>The basic idea of this event is to come
in the morning to learn something new (tools and real workflows)... stick around
and apply it in the afternoon on some semi-structured hack sessions... and then
learn some high level stuff in the evening. As such, the day will be
broken up as follows:<BR></FONT></P>
