Dear all,
For the third year in a row, the Cocoon GetTogether is back. Same place (Ghent - Belgium) and almost same time (targeting October 11th-12th).
In the next few weeks we will spread all the details about the conference plan, logistics, costs and the like. For now, it's our pleasure to officially open the Call For Proposals phase. We are looking for you to come on stage and talk about all things Cocoon. People who want to present during the GetTogether are kindly requested to send in a presentation proposal. Presentation topics will be screened for cluefulness, in the sense that we don't want any commercial presentations. Introductory, tutorial-like stuff into new or advanced topics are much appreciated though. Please send in your presentation proposal to gt2004-speaking at orixo.com - see below for a template to help you in filling out a proposal.
