[Workshops] Re: Workshop evaluation process

[Mark Leslie]

Greetings,
The workshop[1] and tutorial[2] submissions are in and ready for review. 
  If you plan on having your say on what will be presented in October, 
please download the pdfs and have a read.  Send your recommendations to 
me <mrk.leslie at gmail.com> using a subject of "FOSS4G Workshop Review" by 
the start of my day Monday[3] and I will summarise the preferences and 
reply to all those that have voted in the case of any close calls that 
merit discussion.

All I need in the email is a ranked list of ten workshops, twelve 
tutorials, but you will be called upon to justify your opinions if there 
are close cases.
