Thanks to everyone that came to the workshop! Was great meeting you and sharing our knowledge with you!

And I think a special thanks should go to Stanley and Nathalie for putting this all together. This does not happen overnight! It is hours and weeks of dedicated hard work!

And I think another special thank you to Sipho who is just Sipho. Always there to help, doing much more than is required!
