Dear Susan, For one I'm already committed to 7 workshops this year so far, with more to be confirmed. And for sure I'm by no means an anomoly - no doubt others within the community would tell a similar tale. The commitment to workshops for the CCP4 core team and various software deveopers is a burden. It's no secret that there's room for expansion in the computational crystallography community, and that CCP4 is enthusiastic to support such expansion - please contact CCP4 if you are enthusiastic to actively work in this direction.
