[OSGeo-Discuss] INSPIRE Conference 2013 - UPDATES on the workshop

Tue May 21 11:45:10 PDT 2013

Hi all,

Sorry for my later reply.
I agree with the suggested solution to split the workshop time, I don't 
see another way to do this.

As we discussed in the initial hangout, unfortunately I won't be able to 
attend, but I will contribute with workshop material.

Best regards,
Angelos
