Hi Tyler,

So many thanks for your comments and advice. I'm sure that this will be 
helpful to GP to improve their system for abstracts submission.

Cheers,
Lluís

>> Preference will be given to hands-on tutorials.

>> the LiveDVD community:
>> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc#Contact_Us.

>>
>> Workshops and Tutorials: Workshops and Tutorials allow presenters to

>> topics in an interactive environment. Half-day workshops (3 hours)

>> presentation rooms, run concurrently with presentations on 7-9

>> Drawing on a huge community of local, regional and international
>> experts we will discuss some of the most current and poignant topics
>> in the industry today.
>>
>> Academic Track: The academic sessions, with paper publications and
>> poster presentations, aims at bringing together researchers,
>> developers, users and practitioners carrying out research and
>> development in the geospatial and the free and open source fields and
>> willing to share original and recent research developments and
>> experiences. The academic track will act as an inventory of current
>> research topics, with the main objective of promoting cooperative
>> research between OSGeo developers and the academia.
>>
>> FOSS4G Live DVD: LiveDVDs, based on the Xubuntu operating system and
>> including Geospatial Open Source Software, will be given to all
>> delegates. Users can boot a Live DVD on their computer and trial the
>> software without installing or effecting the existing system.
>> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc
>>
>> Installfest: The Installfest will give delegates the opportunity to
>> meet in a common area and install a wide variety of FOSS software on
>> their laptops, netbooks or any other system they care to bring in.
>> Community members will assist with any troubles and provide help and
>> insight into the software.
>>
>> Birds of a Feather: Rooms have been set aside for semi-organised
>> meetings between like minded groups. Some prominent community
>> initiatives started in prior FOSS4G Birds of a Feather sessions.
