Last week's committee conference call was a bit sparse, as it was close to Easter and various members were lucky enough to be away from the freezing weather in the UK.
Since my last update we hit the T-6 month countdown. Things are rapidly moving on. We are already getting registrations for the conference - get in now for the early bird discount. The workshop submission deadline passed and now the Workshop Subcommittee has a job of whittling down the submissions - and there were plenty - to make sure there's a set of high-quality, diverse learning activities at the conference. There have been similar workshop proposals from different groups, so there may be some collaborative opportunities going. The team will be in touch! Its not all work - we hope to entertain you too. We've been in contract discussions with an agency to bring you some fun stuff to our Gala Dinner in the GeoTent. Warning! There may be audience participation and possibly explosions. We're also on the verge of announcing another key sponsor. Most importantly, the conference presentation abstract submission deadline is the end of this week - so please reach out to all your contacts and social networks to plug this, and give the committee a terrific and difficult job at our face-to-face meeting in just over two weeks time.

It's "Geo For All", so its your conference! Barry _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
