[FOSS4G2016] [Program] Call for Presentations draft

[carmen at foss4g2016.org]

Hi Volker, Codrina, list,


after last week, where you discussed important things and I was ill, I 
can finally concentrate again :)
Here are my thoughts:

For our website no separate pages are planned for presentations / 
workshops but it will all be put in submenus under 
http://2016.foss4g.org/schedule.html . Therefore I would extract only 
Format / Submissions / ToIs from your draft for the website and leave 
the introduction and important dates for the announcement covering 
presentations / AT / workshops.

If you agree, the workshop text should follow the same structure for the 
website.


Regards,
Carmen
