Hi Christina,

A comment about the abstracts submission deadline, most of the people here in Europe are on vacation during august so I think we should delay this deadline until sept 10th. This way people would have time to come back from their vacation, write something and submit it.

Another question: is there a mailing list for the program committee members?

Thank you.

I didn't update the web site yet, because I'm watting for a few details.





Another important clarification of the Conference is:

1. The fisrt day (3th november) would be the Elearning and OpenSource Conference (we are working on the elearning and opensource conference site)

2. The OpenACS and .LRN Conference would be from 4th to 5th november. After there's and optional tour to San Carlos to visit the Arenal Volcano (from 5th noon to 6th ). http://www.arenal.net/photo-gallery.htm .

Hi Cristina,

I was invited by Alvaro and Rocael to be part of the 8th OpenACS/.LRN Conference: Program Committee (in particular, chair of the Evaluation commitee of the conference), and I accepted 😊. So I guess my name (Olga C. Santos) should be in that list, too.

When the website is ready, I can disseminate the conference in several mailing lists, as well as review the submissions received, as I've done in past editions of this and other conferences. I'm happy to help!

Thanks.

Olga
