FOSS4G2008 Workshops and Technical Visits
Back to FOSS4G2008 Workshops...
NOTE
This page lists the workshops and labs that are being finalised for the programme. Shortly it will show the final list. When that happens, the Workshops will be put on offer to registrants to choose. Until then, browse this to get a feel for what you can expect and get excited! You will be able to attend a workshop if you register for a conference + workshop package here or if you purchase them separately. Workshops are extra items outside the core conference programme.
The Labs are 'mini-workshops', also hands-on and are part of the core programme. So you will be able to choose them at will during the conference. They will run in parallel to presentation tracks.
