Re: Telepresence for presentations at the workshop

I added the possibility of remote participation to the CFP with a warning
that we still hadn't got all the technical details sorted.

My reasons: We definitely want people to tell us if they're interested but
can't come in person. And I was pretty certain we'd have more than a couple
people in this situation.

If there's worries about the facility WiFi not being good enough for
video-streaming (on top of individual participant's use), we could maybe
source a dedicated MiFi type mobile hotspot for the main computer.
