Hi All! *Latest updates:* I talked to the conference organisers and came out that there is the possibility to maintain separate the two workshop, because there's an available slot for a workshop on Sunday morning. I talked to Simone and he very kindly made himself available to take this slot, hence we will have the whole 90 minutes at our disposal for the OSGeo workshop, that will take place presumably on Monday morning.
