I suspect it was just time pressures rather than a conspiracy of silence, Risker :) I certainly thought it was worthwhile and useful, and would have been happy to chat about it if you'd asked.
Obviously we need to think about scaling and impact if we want to do more of it, but I think that's certainly doable (especially if it is part of a larger strategy for cultural change).

What it says on the tin.
Even though I was present at Wikimania, I heard very, very little about the Ally Skills workshop, even when I asked participants about it. (In fact I don't think I got a straight answer to a single question about it.)
Given the interest about this workshop on this list, and the fact that several of us would have liked to attend but had other commitments (whether or not at Wikimania), I think many of us would like to hear at least some bare-bones feedback about the session.
How many attendees? Male/female ratio? Key themes? Are any of the participants comfortable in saying whether they felt they came away from the session with new tools or skills that they feel will be useful?
I'm going to be honest, the silence about this well-supported experiment has me very curious.
