NOTE:Workshops and Technical Visits fall outside the main FOSS4G2008 Programme. If you wish to attend these events, you will have to register for a "conference + workshop" package here or you may purchase them separately.
While the Code Sprint on Saturday 4 October is a free part of the conference, we need to have an idea about who will attend. So when you send your workshop choices to Petro please indicate if you wish to attend the code sprint. She will pass your name to the code sprint coordinator (Tim Sutton), or you can add it yourself to FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint.

Labs are 'mini-workshops', also hands-on and are part of the core conference programme so you don't book them now. You will be able to choose them at will during the conference. They will run in parallel to presentation tracks and are 1h30 long. They are listed here but their abstracts and scheduling will be available on the main conference website soon: http://www.foss4g2008.org
