[HacktionLab] List of suggested ammends to booking form and site

[Mike Harris]

Cool.

I spoke to Andy and he (and Bristol Wireless) is up for the "Linux I up
me laptop landlor'" workshop, which can include the Linux on a USB stick
workshop.

I spoke to BenG, who is up for the Food Foraging workshop, and also
speaking to Steve Crozier about doing an Open Source Publishing workshop
(gimp, inkscape, scribus) or possibly doing it himself.

So that's two or three more there.

Ben, Andy, could you try to add these to the wiki page at
http://hacktivista.net/hacktionlab/index.php/BarnCamp_2010_Workshops
please?  Thanks.

Mike.
