[Workshops] Re: Workshop evaluation process

[Tim Schaub]

Hey-

Thanks Mark.  One comment on the OpenLayers workshop.  This will be 
co-presented with Roald de Wit (and me).  I updated the submission on 
Friday (which I think is before bedtime Monday in Australia :).  Roald's 
bio is on the submission as well.

If it is possible to update the workshop pdf, I'd appreciate it (and I'm 
sure Roald would as well).

Thanks,
Tim
