Well, so here's my summary of the talks of this week : we can make a general discussion about cave surveys softwares (for example in the karst and cave inventory session already planned (with nothing inside and which I'm responsible for)) and after that, we propose to make a 2-levels workshop : for beginners or new users ; for advanced users and developpers. I propose that the second workshop take place AFTER the beginner's one, to take the advantage of the discussion of this first one. Now, the problem is to know the SIZE of our workshops. For the session, I think it's OK. I plan to make a full day of presentation and after that, a half-day round-table about CAVE INVENTORIES : I'd like to put on paper some general guidelines for european inventories, so that we can find on every national inventories in Europe some common features, at the same (top) level of records... For the workshops, the problem I know is that we don't have a lot of big rooms in Lans (Eric, it's in *Lans en Vercors*, not in La Chapelle)... And at the same time, it's not easy to make a workshop with a lot of persons. So it could be better to organize 2 level 1 workshops (one in the morning, the second in the afternoon) with maybe 20 persons. I think it could be better if the persons interested could register, to know how many persons will come (register directly at Vercors 2008 to me, and just after the general presentations). Do we ask the persons who will come to come with their laptop ?? Maybe 2 persons can work on one laptop ? For this first workshop, we could prepare a liveCD with a Linux and therion (last version) for the people who doesn't have therion installed... If someone know how to make such a LiveCD...? For the second workshop, I think we could register directly on this list ! So, that will be this in my opinion : Day 1 : (all day) General session about karst and cave inventories and survey softs (not only therion...) Day 2 : (morning) Round-table about cave inventories (morning) Therion workshop (level 1) (afternoon) Therion workshop (level 1) Day 3 : (morning) Therion workshop (level 2) Any comments are welcome of course !!!!

Does not change the requirements, we have to provide practical info to the organizers. I think it is important that the workshop should be explicitely in the Congres program, both for visibility reasons and for practical reasons (no way to find a room in La Chapelle by ourself at that time).
Well, I'd certainly like to come along, and I'm probably up for giving some sort of talk or presentation if I do.
