[Expertfinder-dev] Meeting in ISWC + info on leobard

Fri Nov 3 06:05:25 UTC 2006

Dear all,

It seems that we could save $200 by meeting at the LSDIS Lab, instead of meeting in Georgia Center. Their fee for a meeting room that fits 10 people is $150 and speaker phone $50 (plus tax).

At the conference, there will likely be a place/table for posting announcements and so on. We can use it to post latest information about meeting time/date. This will likely be located next to registration area, which we could use to meet and then walk to LSDIS Lab - once a date/time is set.

Cheers,
- aleman
