The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Parliament wishes to to send delegates to attend the International Conference and Workshops on Community Based Environments scheduled to hold in Vienna, Austria from 25-28 April 2007 and would therefore need more information on the event as well as the necessary information we are supposed to supply you for the issuance of formal letters of invitation to enable our delegates process their traveling documents to attend the event as scheduled.
Please note that our request for letters of invitation does not in any way constitute a request for financial assistance from you, as all expenses will be taken care of by the parliament.
Thanking you in anticipation of a most favorable response.
Best regards,
Dr. Umoh Sunny

Dear Mr. Umoh,

We can certainly provide a letter of invitation to you or rather the Austrian diplomatic representation in reach of Abuja, Nigeria.

Please, provide an email as indicated at http://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/#travelling.

I'd just like to say thank you, and well done to the organisers for such a good event. Well done!

It was great to get to meet so many of the names that we see on-line, and to be able to put faces to names.

Looking forward to next year already!

Merv.

Thanks a bunch for the wonderful time and the great pictures taken. I was wondering if we should install photo-album on openacs.org for uploading pictures taken during OpenACS / .LRN events ?

Is photo-album the approved package? I wondered what had been deprecated.

Hi Gustaf,

the link to the Vienna conference posted in the previous message (http://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/conf2007/) seems not to be working. Are the conference information and proceedings available somewhere else from the 2007 edition at Vienna?

Thanks,

Olga
