Hi Mario,


I'm delighted to hear about these projects, and will be looking forward 
to hear from you about your participation. Let's keep in touch when 
there's news. I will update you personally and with this mailing list 
when there is more info about the pre-conference.

Best Regards,
Sanne te Meerman
ps. some preliminary info about the pre-conference is online at the 
GUADEC site:
