Depending on schedule I can lend a hand Paul; I don't think Mark has decided if he is coming or not yet.

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?
