FOSS4G 2009 Press Release 17
Get your friends to vote for your FOSS4G abstract
Sydney, Australia. 15 June 2009.
With 170 abstracts vying for 96 slots at the international [1] 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 [2] 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
