Hi Setyanto,
Given that we don't have the resources to run large numbers of workshops I
am interested in hearing about preferred locations in this part of the
world. In order to be successful it needs someone local who can organize
the various logistics, computational resources needed etc which can limit
the locations we can run these. One option right now would be Singapore,
would that be convenient for people? What other locations would people
like (please be aware that ideally it needs to be accessible from people
across the region, not just the country it is hosted in).
I am open to suggestions. I am also open to serious volunteers who would
be interested in doing the groundwork locally to setup one of these
workshops.
All the best
Ross
