I had noticed it and was thinking that I should aim to get some engagement with CFRG, considering that the agenda of "theory -> practice" lines up well with the RG charter. > > I am co-organizer of this workshop - so if someone from CFRG is > available to present, s/he would be more than welcome to have a slot! > This is a kind offer, and if no one else from CFRG is able to attend, I think that I could put together a worthwhile contribution. If the offer still holds, how about we discuss offline what sort of contribution would be most valuable?
