Workshop attendees, please read this carefully.
YOU SHOULD DO THE SETUP BEFORE you get to the conference center, as the wifi will NOT be fast enough for downloading large files/docker images/etc.
YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THE SETUP FOR THE WORKSHOP THAT YOU ARE ATTENDING! NOT ALL OF THEM!
Check you ticket and follow the workshop setup instructions only for the workshop you are doing.
