[Workshops] Workshop Equipment Information

[Matt Walker]

Hi,

I've just made a small update to the website to add machine specs and room
capacity to the location pages for each lab. Links to the location pages
can be found in the schedules:
http://2013.foss4g.org/conf/programme/workshops and
http://2013.foss4g.org/conf/programme/freeworkshops and also here:
http://2013.foss4g.org/information-for-presenters/#workshops

Thanks,

Matt.
