[OSGeo-Discuss] AAG 2009 Call for Papers

[Alex Mandel]

The Association of American Geographers 2009 conference is now open for 
paper abstracts. This year I'd like organize paper sessions for the 
conference around FOSS.
http://www.aag.org/annualmeetings/2009/papers.htm

Depending on how many papers we get I am aiming for 2-3 sessions (12-15 
papers). The catch is that abstracts need to be submitted by October 16, 
2008.

I've detailed my ideas and will be tracking our efforts at

You can see the list of FOSS talks last year on

One thing I'd like people to keep in mind is that you don't need your 
presentation ready by the registration deadline, you will have until 
February to edit your abstracts.

If you are interested, want more details or have already submitted an 
abstract and would like to be part of our sessions email me. Keep in 
mind I'm also attempting to arrange an Osgeo exhibit with the marketing 
committee.

Apologies for the mild cross-posting.

Thank you,
