I think that it's important to allow organizations to 'brand' their owwrkshop materials. I thin kthat this branding provides a significant benefit -- and therefore, reason for creating documentation in the first place -- to organizations, since they get to carry on benefiting from the workshop materials even after the workshop is over. (For example, I'm using a slightly modified form of the workshop materials for FOSS4G in Japan -- with OpenGeo's brand staying on it).
