Hi Jérôme, thanks for this proposal. See some answers below.

Now at least it is published 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/yade-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg12581.html).
Maybe you'd like to start a discussion by regular emails to the 
yade-devs instead of a public mailing list, for future discussions.

I would thus call it a workshop on "earth dams and levees", with a 
"margin session" on yade. It can make a great workshop for sure, but not 
really a "2nd yade workshop".
Even you seem to be unsure that a 1/2 day session specific to yade will 
actually happen. In this case I doubt that people not interested in 
levees would reply to the call at all, and then the margin session has 
no reason to be.
To be honest I'm surprised and I don't understand really the need for 
such a narrow scope. IRSTEA itself has a substantial activity on slope 
stability, snow avalanches, rockfalls, impacts, structural dynamics, 
rheology, sediment transport, reinforcement by roots/gtx, and many other 
things in which DEM is relevant. Is it bad if the workshop has a scope 
broader than your specific position? And if the scope goes beyond 
IRSTEA's topics (there are plenty applications of yade in 
process/chemical engineering)?

Again, I'm sure such workshop can be very interesting, and I would 
happily attend. However it is not clear to me why you would entitle the 
event "2nd yade workshop".
Cheers

Bruno
