[OSGeo-Discuss] [Marketing] Call for Papers for FOSS4G 2013 Academic Track

[Dr. Franz-Josef Behr]

Thanks for the discussion, and I can imagine that there might be a risk 
involved if somebody decides to make a submission.

But that's the way reviewed contributions are going to be published.

7 months before the conference is not early, if we are lucke, we can 
handle the review, selection, publishing process in time.
