FOSS4G 2009 Press Release 19

To be sent to successful FOSS4G abstract applicants.

Congratulations, Your FOSS4G Abstract was selected

_DRAFT_

20 August 2009, Sydney Australia.

To FOSS4G abstract proposer,

We are glad to say that one of your proposed abstracts was selected to be presented at FOSS4G 2009. This is quite an honour, considering yours was one of only 85 selected from 185 incredibly high quality presentations.

The process for selecting abstracts was ...

What next?

1. Blog like crazy. Tell the world about FOSS4G and your presentation. Tell email lists, blogs, newspapers, whoever will listen. We want to make FOSS4G a huge success, and prior experience shows that the most likely way for people to be convinced they should come to FOSS4G is by hearing about it via blogs, email lists, personal recommendation, from someone the know and respect.
2. You may wish to adjust your abstract to make it more compelling, take account of the latest developments in your project, or to include mention of another presentation that was not selected. We will ask that you keep the presentation on the same topic as the community voted for.
3. Maybe you are an organisation and would like to purchase a booth or sponsorship.

More details will be available in the upcoming weeks. Make sure you join the announcement email list to keep yourself up to date. http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2009-announce

Yours sincerely,

Harley Prowse, coordinator of the abstract selection committee.
