Our intent is to attract people deploying SDI's to the FOSS4G 
conference. And so we are talking about the fact that we have a SDI 
demonstration.
The climate change theme is not necessarily going to attract more delegates.

You may be right about us focusing on the technology a bit much. 
Although I'm reluctant to make many changes now that the text has been 
translated a number of times.
