For a job. Yikes. One would end which felt like a time to lie down and weep a little but NO back at it immediately. I never want to do it again. No.<br />I'll organize myself getting to one though.<br /><a href="http://www.labanan.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Jan Morrison</a>Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-65073839929538496802010-09-05T17:50:35.947-05:002010-09-05T17:50:35.947-05:00I know conferences take a lot!

Right now I'm in the organizing committee for a summer research workshop (in geophysics), to be held i June or July 2011, probably in Montreal or Toronto. Planning started 3 months ago. <br /><br />For your conference some interesting topics could be new publishing trends in the computer world, like how to publish an e-book, and how to self publish ... for my conference, we will probably pick other topics, but some of them will be related to computers >:)<br /><br /><a href="http://cold-as-heaven.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Cold As Heaven </a>CA Heavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558100567878233142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-82350253207295691132010-09-05T13:50:27.732-05:002010-09-05T13:50:27.732-05:00If I wore a hat, it would go off to conference org...If I wore a hat, it would go off to conference organizers.
