Re: [Geotools-devel] [udig-devel] FOSS4G Presentations (and who is going anyways)...

[Andy T. <A.G...@le...>]

Hi Everyone,

I plan to go to FOSS4G and am looking forward to meeting you there and
learning more about what you are doing.

I put in an abstract (http://indico.epfl.ch/userAbstracts.py?confId=3D1)
titled "Grids 1.0 beta and beyond". I have not yet had any feedback, but
hopefully it is acceptable. If I get confirmation I plan to organise a
presentation and flesh out the abstract.

Thanks for making me aware this was happening. I hope that my work on
raster data handling is of interest to some of you.

Best wishes,

Andy

Well initial feedback is that I can provide more details, and that I=20

Sounds like Paul has a uDig talk covered.
