Re: [ossig] Re: Novell's Open Source Developers Conference.

[Chong Tsewai <twchong@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

On the workshops,  details are a little sparse. for example, i am
interested in the Workshop 2 but i do not know what is being presented
and who's presenting, the level i.e. intro, immediate coding, etc.
Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP separately, are large topics on their own. 

The structure of the workshop and the target audience should be stated.

that's my 2x1 sens' worth. Btw, i'll be going for the conference.

regards
