Carl et al., (01)
This will be a great session for your ONION folks. Kindly relay the
announcement/reminder to your team (and potential team) members and
encourage everyone to come. We'll be honored if they could come join
us and share their perspectives and insight. (02)
Cheers. =ppy

*REMINDER* (05)
The subject session is coming up this coming Thursday 26-Oct-2006
(starting at 17:30 UTC / 6:30pm BST / 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT). (06)
This will be a very informative and important session, because we will
be able to see, finally, how formal ontologist, semantic web
advocates, data modelers and application developers can have a means
to interoperate semantically with one another through this upcoming
ISO standard called 'common logic (CL).' ... Don't miss this session! (07)
... RSVP (by e-mailing the sender offline, with your name,
affiliation, title and location) if you are planning to attend and
haven't already responded. We need the information to prepare enough
resources to support everyone. (08)
We look forward to having you at the session. (09)
Regards. =ppy
