FOSS4G2008 Workshops and Technical Visits
NOTE
This page lists the Workshops 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.

They will run in parallel to presentation tracks and are 1h30 long. They are listed here but their abstracts and scheduling will be available on the main conference website soon: http://www.foss4g2008.
