[Conference_dev] Use of Indico for FOSS4G 2007

[Luc Maurer]

Hello,

Indico was very good application for abstract and scheduling => without 
such an application, the organisation of the conference would be impossible.

I am agree with you Frank it would be very good if the same application 
is used each year => the question is Indico or an other one ?

Concerning Indico, it is an open-source application, but I think some 
features have to be change (specially the financial management aspects).

Best regards.

Luc
