Hi Fabien,<br>
<br>
This is why I tried to convince you guys were dreaming a little big
:)<br>
<br>
It's all great to think about doing events like this in theory, but
in practice it's a lot to expect from a little group like ours. I
would suggest we just try to have a presence at GIS day, and maybe
do a little intro to FOSS/FOSS4G workshop in the GIS lab.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what my availability is going to be like, but I'll help
if I can.<br>
<br>

<div>This a friendly reminder that the deadline for the
abstracts pertaining to SFD is tonight. We are running really
low on presentations right now (only 2 abstracts for SFD) and
we need presentations to make that event happen. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone feels up to giving some time and energy for SFD,
you have until today, 11:59 PM. Based on the number of people
submitting abstracts, we will have an idea of how we will
organize this event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If we don't have more, maybe we will consider focusing on
the GIS-Day instead. That will need to be a collective
decision.</div>

<div>Hello folks,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Time is running fast, and the involvement of the
OSGeo Local Chapter in the Software Freedom Day and
GIS Day is becoming more and more imminent. So I think
it is time to set deadlines for abstracts. <br>
<ul>
<li>SFD is in 1 month. In order to make sure we are
all ready and engaged into that event, I would
like to set the deadline for <b>Wednesday, August
7 at 11:59 PM</b>.</li>
<li>GIS-Day is further away in time, but Scott has a
meeting related to the organization of this event
on August 14. Having abstract will help him to get
us a lab. So I would like to set the deadline to <b>Monday,
August 12, 11:59 PM</b>.<br>
</li>
</ul>
The abstract is something really simple, you will find
below the abstracts Javed sent to me as an example.<br>
