> Demos are a great way to show off your work to decision makers, GIS<br>> professionals and fellow code crunchers. The demos will be restricted<br>> to 10 minutes each (including questions and setup time) so they need<br>

> =======================<br>><br>> During the plenary session on Monday 29 July, there will be eight<br>> lightning talks of 5 minutes each. Time limits will be strictly<br>> adhered to and we are looking for the most entertaining, thought<br>

><br>><br>> Code Sprint:<br>> =======================<br>><br>> We will be holding an all day code sprint on Saturday 4 October - the<br>> day following the end of the main conference activities. Given that<br>
> most FOSS projects are conducted as virtual collaborations over the<br>> internet, the code sprint is a rare opportunity for you to get<br>> together in person with other developers in your project.<br>><br>
> The code sprint is also a great opportunity for those who are<br>> interested in getting involved in a project to go and meet the<br>> developers face to face and get some help in getting started with<br>> development. If you are not a developer, but interested in other<br>
> aspects of project development, (documentation, creating demonstrator<br>> implementations of software etc.) the code sprint is an equally good<br>> opportunity to collaborate.<br>><br>> We will provide a venue, lunch and refreshments, internet connection<br>
> and flip charts. If you have other special requirements let us know<br>> and we will see what we can do.<br>><br>> In order to provide the very best experience for you it would be<br>> helpful to get an idea of how many people are likely to attend. We<br>
> have created a Wiki page at:<br>><br>> <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_CodeSprint</a><br>><br>> On this page you can create a section for your project and list the<br>
