Hi,

I have been thinking the same thing for a while. We have done this a couple
of times at PyCon and Scipy as far as I know, but now that we have many
more instructors spanning many different fields, I think it would be great
to move to scientific conferences. I also think that this would have to be
done in collaboration with the professional society running the workshop.

Best,

Ivan
