Thank you for the talk title and abstract, Thomas. (01)
Dear All, (02)
Thanks to everyone for the input. Based on what I have received so
far, the draft session page is now up ...
see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2012_11_01
... kindly review, and edit (or send me edits) as you see fit, on
information pertaining to yourselves or your part in the session. (03)
In particular, I still Thomas and Norman's bio-sketches (and everyone
else to double check and update theirs,) as well as the title/abstract
of the Schildhauer/Adams work; then, of course, the overall session
title (reviewed) and abstract, now that we know what everyone is going
to present.. (04)
We really need to get the announcements out today. I do want to, at
least, have all the titles and abstract in place before releasing
that, though. I will post the announcement to a few lists, and
everyone here is encouraged to forward that (or paraphrase it and then
send) to pertinent lists and communities that would be relevant. (05)
Again, slides due by end-of-day tomorrow, please (unless you let the
co-chairs and I know beforehand.) (06)
Thanks & regards. =ppy (07)
