[OSGeo-Discuss] REMINDER: Call for Workshops/Tutorials for FOSS4G2011

[Peter Batty]

Hi all,

Unfortunately the way the abstract submission for workshops was set up there
is no automatic email confirmation. We are sorting this out for the next
round of abstract submissions, for papers. In the mean time, if you
submitted a workshop proposal you should receive a confirmation email from
someone on the workshop committee by end of today. If you don't, please
email Ben, Jeff and me and we will check for you.

Cheers,
    Peter.
