[Freegis-list] FOSS4Geo session at the Geosciences World Congress (33rd IGC 2008 in Oslo)

[Henning Lorenz]

FOSS4Geo related science and development is represented at the 
Geosciences World Congress in Oslo with an own session (see copy of 
earlier announcement below). This is an unique possibility to present 
FOSS solutions and science to a new audience.
However, two weeks before the extended abstract deadline the session is 
in lack of contributions. Please participate in the  session and submit 
your abstract before the 29 February 2008 via the IGC homepage 
(http://www.33igc.org) and forward this announcement to people who are 
going to attend the IGC.

Cheers,

Henning
