[OSGeo-Discuss] INSPIRE Conference 2013 - UPDATES on the workshop

Tue May 21 13:12:57 PDT 2013

Margherita, sorry I missed part of the info. When it is supposed to be  
the workshop?
In Florence I have also the NASA WW challenge and therefore, as told,  
I have to verify if I'm free or not when there is the workshop.
Many thanks!
Maria
