I went to that CNC workshop in "07". Parked my motorhome on the lawn for 4 or 5 days. I had a great time and met a ton of interesting people.
I personally met the guy that wrote MACH 3. His name is Art.
To bad the CNC workshop will be no more unless someone gets it going again.
A CNC or manufacturing workshop would be a good thing for some junior college to start doing. Kishwaukee Junior College near Dekalb and 60 miles West of Chicago would be a good candidate.

A few developments are alluded to at the yahoo group cncworkshop
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CNCWORKSHOP/messages.
This does not actually get you to the page, you have to register with yahoo, a
triviality, then go to groups and search for the group in caps above to
see the messages.

I found this info at the Home Shop Machinist Forum. I plan to go.We are making progress in pulling together what will be the First Annual Digital Machinist CNC Workshop. The site and dates have been decided on at this time. I’ll post more details about the event when they are finalized.
The location and dates are:
Washtenaw Community College
Ann Arbor, MI
June 22 through the 25th 2010
The workshop is a continuation of the one originally hosted by Roland Friestad at his shop in Galesburg IL. With Roland’s retirement and subsequent sale of his shop, he chose to pass the responsibilities along to us, though he will still be an important part of the workshop.
We hope to make few changes to the format of the workshop. Our intention is to keep the focus on educational seminars geared to those interested in hobby and low cost CNC software, hardware, and use.
We have had a great deal of interest from those hoping to give seminars and I think we will have an interesting mix of subjects.
