The deadline for abstracts is next Monday (21st). I have an idea for an
abstract for a thing that I'd like to present and a student of mine
would also be interested. However, the most important thing would be the
working meeting for OSGeo edu. In addition, I would be very interested
in a workshop/code sprint to look into developing and packaging
edu-oriented materials for the OSGeo live DVD/virtual machine.
The biggest question is, would we get a reasonable crowd to Girona in
March? Girona is good for us since flights to Barcelona are cheap
(current cheapest prices are 131 euros for the dates of the conference).
Cheers,
Ari
