[Rivet] Rivet dev/BSM workshop registration

[Andy Buckley]

Hi again everyone, and welcome to a few extras who I didn't include 
before -- apologies for the unsolicited email!

To recap, we are holding a 3 day Rivet workshop in Scotland from 26-29 
Sept to build momentum towards BSM analysis preservation and recasting. 
A real meeting with emphasis on useful discussions and actual coding 
rather than scheduled talks! The idea is to make contact and hopefully 
start work between Rivet and the BSM pheno groups represented in this 
email's CC -- and to identify/make desired features, maybe implement 
some analysis codes, etc.

The workshop web page is here: https://indico.cern.ch/event/549001/

There are 8 registrations so far, which is the right sort of size, but 
it'd be good to have a few more from the BSM groups if possible. Which 
doesn't have to be those on the email: delegation is fine. Partial 
attendance is also fine, and we will support costs to some extent -- 
dependent on the final group size. So if you would like to come, please 
register as soon as possible via the Indico page above -- and/or contact 
me directly if you have any questions.

Best wishes,
Andy
