1 a) (someone local should do this)
1 b) I enthusiastically volunteer to join and support this group

2) We can probably fill twice that number. Many have booked more than
just one workshop. Paul Ramsey even suggested to have the most
frequented workshops run twice so that people have a chance to attend
both even if they run in parallel. Is there a chance of getting two days
of workshop rooms or more than just 5 rooms?

I believe someone already suggested dropping the tutorials, is that
correct? They seem to interfere both with workshops and regular
presentation sessions and they are almost the same amount of work as are
the full scaled workshops.
