Hi Tim,

I'm sorry for my late reply but I've been out of the office for an 
European project meeting and I had been out for a while.

The conference looks pretty good. Workshops and conference programs have 
been sent to print, and we are going to finish the last details along 
this week. Regarding to the numbers, we have 136 attendees to the 
Spanish FOSS4G and 102 to the QGIS Conference.

My only fear is about the presentation of "*QGIS contribution in 
supporting communities in securing their rights on their traditional 
space of life (tenure), case of Mpama community in DRC/Equateur province 
– Lukolela*" because the presenter is not already registered, and he is 
coming from Congo. He asked us documentation and invitation letters that 
we provided months ago, but we didn't longer received news from his 
side. This could affect the QGIS program: then we should proceed to move 
up "*GIS at use in municipality of Frederikssund*" and "*THREDDS 
Explorer plug-in, bringing meteoceanographic operational data into QGIS 
presentations*", giving extra time to the *QGIS Town Hall meeting.

Is anybody know about Jean Paul Ngalamulume Tshiaba? *

We are also preparing an email to all the attendees in order to give 
some important details about logistic issues before the conference. 
Another email will be sent to Hack Fest attendees.

Yes, the sponsorship coming from Boundless and GeoCat, as well as a 
company from Girona (Nexus Geographics), gave us the necessary push for 
move things forward!  Now, we have a big amount of small details to 
solve, but we are in time! :) The support from OSGeo for helping in the 
Hack fest meeting has been also a valuable help.

All the best, and thanks for your interest and help!
See you next week!
