Is this real ?
I don't see Brock Pierce's name on there. Isn't he the president of bitcoin?
Maybe its a fake. I wouldn't trust anything without the president's name on it.
You mean Brock "ordinary sexual appetite for adults" Pierce?

So there is a workshop. I don't see that as a bad thing. God forbid anyone should talk face-to-face
The only issue I have with it is there are only two. How about a couple in Europe and South America?

They should have made on in San Fransisco and one in Amsterdam since these cities are the more bitcoin advanced ones in North American and Europe. Montreal and Honk Kong seem like a weird option to host a bitcoin work shop.
Well, given that Bitcoin is quite a big concept now worth billions of dollars, this puts you developers on edge to do your jobs correctly and act on the best interests of the community, right? You are being compensated in Bitcoin after all. Personally, I do not have $2000 CAD to fly across the country and join the confrere. I went to CakePHP earlier this year. I paid for that trip on my credit card and still paying interest for my education. I simply can't afford to talk to you in person about this so here are my 2 satoshi: I think the blockchain technology is revolutionary and has a lot of potential. Personally, I think that if the limits are not increased in the core version of Bitcoin, the XT camp will fork and the price will plummet. Bitcoin will catch on and it has to have the capacity to handle networks as large as Visa and MasterCard. As far as I'm concerned Bitcoin is here to stay and the fork will only hurt the price.
I agree 100% being revolutionary technology, when I first knew of Bitcoin, I knew nothing of it passed on it shame really I did on something so powerful like this to make changes for the future. No doubt about it will see a fork coming in the coming months or sometime next year if it continues to go the way it is. And no doubt about it too, that prices will fall and the downfall of Bitcoin will happen. Devs and teams need to get their acts together before it is too late and everyone shooting we told you so but did not bother to listen like now. Even if price does spike down way down I will buy and hold for a future but right now its very tough to decided to even continue with Bitcoin. Only time will tell and the devs on what is in store for the future. Am hoping a bright one and they get their acts together.

For me it's great news. At the very least, they show interest in a solution. And if they are going to listen to community (which I feel mostly proposes a raise in block size) it is a very good signal.
...Also, since people like Gavin have been ranting on how
we are running out time...
Exactly. Don't you find it suspect he, and Mike, have been the only ones trying to hammer in this point? we are running out time...
Gavin and Mike are the only ones? From my vantage point, over half of the Bitcoin community has been hammering on this point all summer long.
A reaction only sparked by the Gavin blog post propaganda.
Again, the lead up to current situation has been well documented
Which is another way of saying that you agree with me that Mike and Gavin are not the only ones hammering on this point.

It's just a shame the BIP101 crowd are so against this dialogue
who is against the dialouge?
Mike & Gavin for one apparently.
So they actually said these workshops were a bad idea?
Please show me that, I'd like to see.
Pretty certain I've read on Twitter Mike has no plan of attending. You will also realize none of them signed the letter.
Just because they don't endorse the event with their signature, doesn't mean they are "against the dialouge."
Once again, you are twisting facts because of your bias.

I increasingly feel the urge to attend. Seem like we could be witnessing historic moment.

Same, can't make it to Montreal so soon, and Hong Kong is too far.
I think the main issue is they do respect the fact that it could get messier the longer this stays unresolved...
The workshop were announced a couple weeks ago btw..
And still as of today, no submissions have been accepted. If presenters hear back tomorrow, that gives them only 8 business days to prepare PowerPoint slides, book flights, and reserve hotel accommodations.

This is highly unusual for a conference promoted as academic in nature (normally, there would be over 6 weeks [rather than 8 days]).

"Trust us"
No.
No.
I thought bitcoin was to be a trustless system?
It's trustless as long as you can fork the code. But when you do so, they'll call it an altcoin.
Ironic isn't it?

I don't understand this. So is the solution suppose to emerge from these two workshops or is this just a try to "get community involved so they fell important and they see that we do care about their voice" and then on the other side we will do as we imagined.
My mind really doesn't know what to think about this. When I saw a title, An open letter to the community from developers, I told to myself thanks God we have a solution and consensus will be reached, but now I am even more confused!

It's a complex topic, so these workshops will be an invaluable educational tool for all in the community.
It's just a shame the BIP101 crowd are so against this dialogue, it would be much better if they presented their arguments publicly than taking their ball and going home.
