already involved. The draft is at <A

I see no edits have been made since the deadline so Burnie, could you or someone
you delegate please post it and the proposal template on the conference website
asap. We can't afford to lose any more time now. </FONT></DIV>

to help make sure that the success continues.<BR><BR>I logged into the
conference site but cannot find the latest version that you mention Gavin, can
you include the direct link to your draft?

Burnie and list<BR><BR>Please take note of and implement Dave's suggestions in
his e-mail of 13 March.<BR><BR>The workshop subcommittee is Burnie
(coordinator), Dave, Graeme, myself, and.., and ..?<BR><BR>I'm taking the wiki
version Dave posted as the working version - I've made some minor edits to it.
If no-one comments by <A

consider it final and post it to <A

(login as Conference Manager - username burnie and you should have an e-mail
with your password sent when you were still at sefsa).<BR><BR>Where are your
author guidelines / submission template? This needs to be ready tooas Dave
pointed out and also posted onto the conference website under 2.3 on that same
page. You need to coordinate with Inge and get help from Graeme to do this as
call for papers go here too. This is critical as the whole submisison process
will be managed through the website.<BR><BR>Once everything is in place on the
website we can make announcements. I will be setting up a page similar to the
FOSS4G2007 page with a communication policy. Announcements can go out
perhaps late this week else early next week to users registered on the website,
to our buld-mail contact list and various other lists.<BR><BR>Announcements must
go out as plain text, perhaps some html and images, no
attachments.<BR><BR>Please send all contacts and lists you have or wish to send
announcements to, to me, to make sure they get on our
spammer.<BR><BR>cheers<BR><BR>Gavin Fleming MSc, Pr. GISc Technologist<BR>Senior
