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.
