FW: [Foss4g2008loc] RE: FOSS4G Call for Posters

Hi Mandy,

Antony has suggested a shorter abstract for posters - it might be an idea. 

My thinking with the 500-600 words is to keep it the same as the others. But
Antony has a point. 

Your comments

Hi Inge

For posters, an abstract of 500 words is perhaps too demanding - the poster
itself might only be 500 words long.  I would suggest that you require the
abstract for posters to be 150-300 words.

Regards
Antony
