Re: COSCUP / GNOME.Asia 2010 Call For Papers

[Frederic Muller <fred beijinglug org>]

Dear Richard,

Sure we'd be more than happy to have you (as I mentioned previously). 
The conference spreads over 2 days only, so you can chose between the 
first or the second day and we will arrange a slot on the GNOME.Asia 
specific tracks. We definitely agree that the purpose of your visit is 
to explain the philosophy of Free Software and reinforce its importance. 
Do you have a title and abstract to give us to publish on the site? 
We'll take care of the translation in Chinese. I think last year 
committee is working on a Vietnamese version of the program as well.

Where do you see this list of Asian words located?

Thank you very much.

Fred
