RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] registration at foss4g
That's music to my ears... Just a note about accommodation. If finding cheaper accommodation means deciding to come to the conference, have a look at our 'do-it-yourself' wiki page: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2008_DIY. Also see the link to the Room share page if you want to cut costs by sharing a room. While I have your attention, if you haven't seen what's on offer yet click on 'Presentations' or try the 'Browse' options in the right panel of www.foss4g2008.org to see the abstracts. We'll be putting the workshops and technical visits 'on offer' soon so make sure you register for the 'conference + workshops' package to be first in line.

Good to hear that Guillaume By Monday 23rd we had 240 registrations from over 40 countries. That's a great core of Early Birds to start with. We are going to expand our marketing campaign now to attract more registrants from a wider spectrum over the next 3 months.
