[OSGeo-Edu] Re: Call for Papers: LocWeb2008 in Conjunction with the WWW 2008 Conference

[P Kishor]

Dear OSGeo-edu-ers,

I am sending out a second call for papers for the "First International
Workshop on Location and the Web" that will be held April 22 in
Beijing in conjunction with WWW2008.

The submissions, on any and all geospatial aspects of the web, are due
in full by Feb 1, 2008.

As I am on the program committee, I would love to see some OSGeo-Edu
participation.

Puneet.
