Call for participation

Being a community event, we are staring a call for involvement, which means it is the time to speak up if you want to:

• Turbo Talk (Rump) Session - a new feature in this conference, consisting of a series of 5-minute talks.

The deadline for submissions for the rump session is Monday, September 8, 2008.

• Call for sponsors
• Help in organizing
• Otherwise participate (plenty of time for that, but if you know you will come, speak up)

This is also a good time to raise other ideas you have regarding the conference. Many of you have been to previous conferences and have great ideas, so don't be shy and speak up.
