Looking at http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2008/index.php?lang=en I don't see an obvious banner or button that people could use on blogs or whatever to promote the event. Also the program http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2008/index.php?lang=en&action=program would look better if it mentioned the speakers who are already listed on the wiki. Even if they don't have time slots yet; make a list of speakers. Better, have a speakers page with mugshot beside the name of each speaker, and a brief bio. -- Chris Lilley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Interaction Domain Leader W3C Graphics Activity Lead Co-Chair, W3C Hypertext CG _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
