FOSS4G 2009 Press Release 17

Get your friends to vote for your FOSS4G abstract

Sydney, Australia. 15 June 2009.

With 170 quality abstracts vying for 96 slots at the international FOSS4G conference, there is a lot competition for air-time. Some innovative presenters are stacking the odds in their favour by inviting their friends to vote for their presentation on their blogs and email lists.

If you have submitted a presentation, I'd encourage you to do the same, and don't forget to give FOSS4G a plug while you are at it.

To vote follow the link here: http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/

For instructions on how to vote, please refer to the voting page on the Conference website or http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Program#Presentation_Voting

Successful authors will be notified on the 20th of July. A preliminary program will be in place by August.
