[Foss4g2009] Workshops and tutorials

[Volker Mische]

Does it mean that the idea of a public voting for tutorials/workshops is
dead, and there will only be a voting for presentations? The voting
system works but is far from being usable (I showed it to Mark last
week, no changes till then).

Cheers,
  Volker
