Hi, wonderful Daniel!
wonder if your article could be on dzone too? if you need reviewers i'd be happy to be one of them ;) *Romain Manni-Bucau* *Twitter: @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau>* *Blog: **http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/*<http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/> *LinkedIn: **http://fr.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau* *Github: https://github.com/rmannibucau* 2012/10/8 dsh <daniel.hais...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > one of my article abstracts for a German journal (JavaSPEKTRUM) has > been accepted.
