Hi,
thanks for the link. We let it stew some in the discuss list hoping for 
someone to catch on but apparently the result is void. So VisCom will 
try to fill in the gap.

Is anyone from the VisCom team attending the 7th Libre Software Meeting? 
Please answer asap so that we can clean out the details.

Alexandre,
is this event going to be take place in English or French? Could you 
please send VisCom the contacts of Clément Jaquemet to find out what we 
could do? If you do not want it to become public you can send it to me 
offlist.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
