IPC8 tutorials material

[Frank Stajano]

I finally registered for IPC8 and found somewhere on the forms a reference 
to the fact that attendees to the tutorials will receive the printed 
materials for "all the tutorials", where it wasn't clear whether this meant 
"all of the 2 out of 8 tutorials attended", or "all of the 8 tutorials 
including the ones you missed because they were all running in parallel and 
damn damn damn wouldn't it have been nicer to be able to go to more than 
two so at least here's some consolation".

Speaking as someone who at IPC7 bought the tutorial material for ALL the 
tutorials from the remainders pile, and found it quite interesting, I would 
encourage the organisers to either, and preferably, assign the second 
meaning above to the ambiguous wording on the web site, or at least be 
generous with the print runs so that a similar "remainders sale" can be run 
this year too.
