[Foss4g2009] Re: Academic link to foss4g posters?

[Venka]

Hi All,

About the Call for posters, I was under the
impression that many worthy submissions that
could not make it to the oral session who be
automatically selected for the poster session.
I think this was the case in previous FOSS4G
conferences. Hope there will be a core-time
during which poster authors would be available
in front of their poster to answer questions.

Best regards

Venka
