[OSGeo-Edu] Academic Event

[maria.brovelli at diiar-topo.polimi.it]

Dear All
in march I start my course and therefore is not so easy to come to  
Girona. If possible, I will attend via skype.

But, as a matter of fact, is it possible to have a list of people  
interested in partecipating??

Cheers.
Maria
