[Workshops] Move W-04 to Tuesday?

[Oscar Fonts]

Paul,

Been at FOSS4G 2007 and I know it is a long trip from Victoria. And a 9
hours jet lag is not the best situation to face a workshop. But changing the
timetable now could affect many people: already subscripted attendee's
plans, changing the application form on the fly, correction announcements,
etc. Let me see how much of a mess is it, but I'd rather take the risk of
having you half asleep...

I suggest another alternative, applicable to all workshops, that will ensure
a better overall quality: Try to set up a team of 2 or 3 instructors per
workshop. Can you think of any other PostGIS guru(s) around the world
willing to help you with it? It would avoid trouble to third parties,
increase workshop quality, and ammend the risks you mention in case (sh)it
happens. Do you agree this could be a good solution?

Regards,

Oscar.
