[Foss4g2008loc] Thinking of Exhibiting at the most importantGIS conference in SA this year? Reserve your stand by July 7 for EarlyBird rates

[Gavin Fleming]

We're about to do a site upgrade to the latest version of OCS. We'll
have a left panel with sponsors logos. We can list exhibitors, create
links to extra pages, etc, which would have required major workarounds
on the existing site.

Gavin,

 

Thank you for the notification. Can you perhaps create a sort of
hyperlink at "Reserve your stand by July 7 to get early bird rates". By
clicking on this link, it must take them to our web page.

 

And ... I can't find any information on the web page regarding the
exhibition. Please tell me what type of information will be suitable for
the web page and how I can load the data onto the web (floor plan,
contact details etc). I also can't remember my login and password!
Please help!

 

Thanks

Magda
