This page was started to get down some ideas and 'offer' some workshops for future events.



Our Format

This is a description of how to do a workshop section on this page. Here's an example:

;Length: 45mins
;Equipment: projector, flip chart, chairs, cats, scratching posts.
;Description: This is a talk about herding cats. This notoriously difficult task has not had as much focus.
;Nerd gag: on tight
