Hi Diego and Carlos, very interesting idea, however, suggest that the
community organize these workshops after the introductory lectures as the
SFD, why? because the attendees are not wholly specialists, many of them are
users who have no idea whether there is something useful for their area of
interest.

I prefer to leave the conference accessible to more people and organize
separate workshops for specific topics.

Greetings.
