[Foss4g2009] website update

[Mark Leslie]

The tutorial section should read very much like the workshop section. 
Here's some text.

Tutorials

24 90 minute tutorials will be held on Thursday October 22 and Friday 
October 23.  All tutorial submissions will be considered, but particular 
interest will be shown in the following topics:

     *  Practical introductions
     * Interoperability
     * Spatial data accuracy
     * Spatial data privacy
     * Data migration
     * System implementation
     * Data security

Guidelines for tutorial submissions

Tutorials offer you the opportunity to share your knowledge and passion 
for your favorite application, intregration solutions, technology or 
other topic in bite-sized pieces.

Tutorial rooms will not be equipped with computers so any hands-on 
aspects are the responsibility of the presenter and must be stated; the 
tutorial may recommend participants to bring their own laptop. Most 
laptops can be expected to be running some version of the Windows 
operating system. FOSS4G LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating 
system, will be available at the conference and supplied to all 
attendees. These may be used in the Tutorials, or installation of 
software packages provided by the presenter may be part of the tutorial. 
Preference will be given to hands-on tutorials.
