Re: GUADEC 2004 and talks

[Arafat Medini <lumina silverpen de>]

I am a translator and I am living in Hamburg so Kristiansand is very
near to me, as I want to contribute with a talk I want to write an
abstract but I don't know how to write it, can you please tell me what
the whole structure has to be?

Yours
