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

Wed May 22 06:05:23 PDT 2013

Hi All!

*Latest updates:*
I talked to the conference organisers and came out that there is the
possibility to maintain separate the two workshop, because there's an
available slot for a workshop on Sunday morning. I talked to Simone and he
very kindly made himself available to take this slot, hence we will have
the whole 90 minutes at our disposal for the OSGeo workshop, that will take
place presumably on Monday morning.
