Yeah, your proposal was a bit passive for a workshop audience- they don't
attend to watch, it's surely more fun to get them trying stuff out
themselves.
I like the idea of a ChucK and jitlib workshop, half day each, participants
get explanations and to explore both. I know I'd be very happy to attend
such a workshop. Again, Ge and Julian/Alberto, thoughts?
In terms of covering many systems, I think that's too ambitious, and some
systems are more naturally set up for people other than the original
creator. It's hard work to teach/install custom stuff which has probably
only ever had one user. ChucK and jitlib have the advantage of being
available in advance, cross platform without overly specific installation
requirements, and have many natural help resources. They are designed for
third party end-users.

It is good consequence that you may have pumped up the presentation time,
so there is no fear of missing out anyone who wanted to present something.
cheers for your constant energy and enthusiasm Alex
