Re: las-gnome Papers Committee: Notes of meeting #1

[meg ford <megford gnome org>]

Hi,

Asheesh replied with a tentative yes to speaking at the conference and asked for a few details: (1) what are the exact dates for the conference (assuming we get the funding); and (2) is the invitation for him specifically or is it possible for someone else from the sandstorm.io community to speak if he is not available?

Thanks,

Meg
