Sorry for the late reply. We experience a lot of trouble with our email 
server here at Laval University. It seems there is an incredible 
explosion of the number of spams sent to the university. Our email 
server was done during several hours these last few days. I receive then 
the emails a few hours or days after they have been sent. I hope the 
situation will improve soon because it is very tuff to work ... The 
other side of the medal is it provides me with more time to work on 
files in late ... without being disturbed by the email ring! ;-)

Dealing with the addition of a checkbox which allows to differ 
submissions sent for presentations only from the one sent for 
consideration in the academic track is a very good idea. Abstract could 
be to my mind submited in the same online submission system as the one 
used for the FOSS4G 2009 conference. Review and selection of submissions 
will be made on the full papers for the academic track. Abstracts are 
just requested in order to know how many full paper submissions are 
expected.

Jorge and I are considering different options in order to organise the 
online review of the paper. We will back to you shortly on this point.

Hope it helps,

Cheers.

Th.
