Monday/Tuesday - the first two days of FOSS4G will just be workshops. The workshops will be largely the same as FOSS4G 2010. An advantage here is you could get the conference rate at the Sheraton - $189/night. It is on the high end but it's pretty swank. That rate will be guaranteed to be the lowest published rate for the Sheraton.</div>
