[OSGeo-Conf] Re: [mapserver-dev] GeoServer superseeding MapServer in Europe?

[Seven (aka Arnulf)]

The concept of having one talk per presenter makes a lot of sense. It 
will be appreciated by the presenters as well as the audience because 
they receive a well prepared talk. And the presenters do not get over 
stressed.

Not so sure about the restriction of one presentation per organizations. 
If an org can afford to send several presenters, good for them, good for 
us. If they mess up it will show.

But this does not solve the problem that currently one has to submit 
several talks in the hope that one "will make it". I have no good idea 
how to deal with that.

Best regards,
Arnulf

Too bad. :-)
