Simon,<br>
I can't see a spot for sponsors on the front page, similar to what was done for 2007:<br>

<br>
Have you got that covered?<br>

This is from the last version of the prospectus which we'll upload when its available later this month.<br>

I've removed the link to OCS prior to the Login & Registration links on the submission guide page<br>

Lorenzo - cheers for the comments - I've added the notice for existing users. Rob, I'll look into amending the OCS forms but i rather like the idea of assigning myself a rank - I'd like to be a commodore :)<br>

<br>
my experience submitting...<br>
<br>
1) Submission page<br>
very nice and clear, I would just add the comment that the user is<br>
or should be subscribed to "OSGeo Open Conference Sistem".<br>
so if they've been in south africa they already have a user.<br>
<br>
2) logging<br>
happy to find my data registered from last submission for foss4g2009<br>
<br>
3) writing<br>
I like the HTML editor, you can easily add links<br>
<br>
4) file upload<br>
neat<br>
<br>
ciao<br>

The aesthetics so far are really terrific.<br>
I'd suggest you think about what's important going forward, and<br>
promote some items from the sub-menus and demote others.<br>
For example,<br>
submitting papers and workshops should be more prominent, the<br>
committee information less so, sponsoring should be<br>
prominent, etc.<br>
<br>
