I just posted my Advanced Workshop session given today. It was a great presentation and attendance. If you where not there, you can still check it out by going to the wiki presentations area. The presentation shows all the demos we should have done, I am also uploading the complete workshop source code and the script that was my guide to create the demos. As a side note, I will be translating the demos to screencasts so you can follow along. It should take me a few weeks, but they will get there.

At first, the application works. Then small operational issues start appearing: unexpected slowdowns, random restarts, patches applied late at night, fixes that introduce new bugs.
Eventually teams find themselves trapped in what many engineers call “hotfix hell.”

Luis, Thanks! It was a great session. I wish it could have gone 5 hours so we could finish everything you had planned. That said, I really got A LOT out of the presentation. The layout demo was great and helped me wrap my head around some of the concepts around the layout manager. I look forward to the screencasts.
