[Foss4g2008loc] RE: FOSS4G2008 Extension of abstractsubmissiondate.doc

[Serena Coetzee]

Hi all,

I'm OK if you remove the 500-600 words limit from the general track, but
definitely not from the academic track.  If we make the general abstract
shorter, we just have to make sure that we state the two lengths very
clearly to avoid confusion (which I think was one of the reasons why we
decided to have them both the same length).

Are we reacting on a single conversation or is there a wider concern?

Regards,
Serena

Hi Dave,

I see... hmmm the reason they are that long is so that we have something to
review especially for the academic track.

I can remove the discard line for the general presentation track.

Your thoughts

Inge

There is feedback that the requirement for a
500-600 word abstract is too long - see right
at the start of this IRC log:
