Notes
{{{
I could see a model in which the workshops cover greater part of the conference cost and are more aligned with for-profit rates, giving a chance to lower the cost for the rest of the conference. This would (a) allow instructors to be compensated better for their efforts. (b) reduce the barrier to come to the conference for those that do not have a prime interest in following workshops. Instructors have more compelling reasons to come since their expenses are covered (no more complaining about fuel taxes ;-) ) and the conference benefits from them being there.
