Re: [Masterlibre-list] Invitation to GUADEC 28-31 of May 20065 in Stuttgart

[Cornelia Boldyreff]

Anne,
thank you for the reminder. As we discussed, I'm happy to make a
presentation on this work as part of the panel that you're proposing at
GUADEC in May. I also think this is a good opportunity to hold a further
meeting of the group.
Cornelia
