I'd suggest we need to slim down the CFP a bit as it seems a bit
verbose at present. In terms of previous workshops how have they been

or just speakers or ...?

I'd strongly suggest getting some people from the US. For example the
CTO of Washington DC was mentioned at the PSI Workshop.

We should write to Chris Corbin right away and ask him for suggestions
as to subject matter and people to invite. Chris is probably *the*
most knowledgeable person about PSI matters across Europe that I/we
know ...

Indeed. We also need to do this for OKCon (or at least get the
announce/CFP out).
