Claire,

Do you know if there would be slides/video of this workshop being made available ?

A presentation/discussion opportunity at the OpenInfra Vancouver event could be very useful.

I asked the organizers on site and I believe the slides will be made available and as far as I know, most of the sessions were being recorded!

+1.  I will try to ask today to the organizers to perhaps submit
something or organize time at Vancouver for those interested.
