Re: [OSCOM] OSCOM Booth at Gilbane conference -- please send feedback

Dear OSCOM,

I've updated the wiki page about the OSCOM booth at Gilbane. For those
who already showed interest, please populate the time slots. For
others, please join & participate...

http://wiki.oscom.org/tiki-index.php?page=OscomGilbane

Thanks,
Renaud
