Cocoon GetTogether 2004 Call for Proposals

[Andrew Savory <an...@luminas.co.uk>]

Dear all,

For the third year in a row, the Cocoon GetTogether is back. Same place 
(Ghent - Belgium) and almost same time (targeting October 11th-12th).

In the next few weeks we will spread all the details about the 
conference plan, logistics, costs and the like. For now, it's our 
pleasure to officially open the Call For Proposals phase. We are 
looking for you to come on stage and talk about all things Cocoon. 
People who want to present during the GetTogether are kindly requested 
to send in a presentation proposal. Presentation topics will be 
screened for cluefulness, in the sense that we don't want any 
commercial presentations. Introductory, tutorial-like stuff into new or 
advanced topics are much appreciated though. Please send in your 
presentation proposal to gt2004-speaking at orixo.com - see below for a 
template to help you in filling out a proposal.
