I know or trusty Prez has been looking into the next few workshops, and may even have one or two lined up.
To be honest, there was only one workshop in somebody's house (mine). The next one used Kin's office space, and the rest have been at DeVry. I'm hoping we don't need to wire up my house again. It was fun, but um... tiring.. :) The timing thing is also being looked at. We had a discussion a short while ago (a month or two) about using VMWare to get all the participants to the same starting point much faster than we saw in the first few workshops. This puts a little more onus on the person running the workshop to create that vm image, and make CDs/DVDs. But it also means much more time *should* be spent on the topic of the day, rather than getting all the computers to a similar state. I've heard rumblings about a multimedia workshop being planned, but shhhh... that's pure rumor right now.
