[Jportlet-devel] Workshop on Portals and Portlets

[R J A. <R.J...@dl...>]

Dear All,

sorry to intrude on your developer list, but I am looking for a
speaker to present your Jportlet project at an upcoming workshop, July
14-17th in Edinburgh UK. 

Further information on the workshop is at:
          http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esc/events/261/

So far I have had no response to attempts to get input from your
important project. Please will someone help?

A provisional list of speakers is attached FYI.

Sincerely

Robert J. Allan
(Technical Manager
UK Grid Support Centre and CCLRC e-Science Centre)
