[Foss4g2009] Workshop Logistics

[Paul Ramsey]

I'm not sure if 2008 did any workshops in computerless rooms, but if
they did I'd like to hear how that went. The "low impact" workshop is
a category we haven't had before, but it allows the organizers to add
a workshop without the overhead of handling machinery.

Another option for workshops which it might be time to explore is the
BYOLaptop + Virtual Machine approach. With VM players like VMWare
free-to-download, this is potentially a doable thing. Just have to
make VM images small enough to burn on a DVD.  Only downside is, we
generally want to teach on Windows, to keep it "real" for the majority
of attendees, but we can't burn 300 copies of Windows VMs onto DVDs.
