My changes are attached, in "version 3" of the document,
with 'track changes' enabled. In other words, I edited
"version 2" that included Cameron's changes.

Some general comments for future text:
- the only URL we will use for the website is
   http://2009.foss4g.org/ and that includes
   the trailing slash
- don't put a period after URLs or email addresses
   that appear at the end of sentences

Do we get to see the "designed version" for a final check
before it goes to the printers? Not doing so is a risk that
in my opinion we shouldn't be taking.

An idea that won't work in reality without some
system of 'token passing' to prevent more than one
person working on their local copy at the same time.


P.S.
Just to 'make the point', I deleted the "copyright text"
in the footer in my version of the document. As far as
I am concerned, my version is in the public domain and
is copyright free :-)
