Dear all,

This year's Cocoon GetTogether is coming near!

--------------------------------------------
October 5,6,7th, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.=20
http://www.cocoongt.org.
--------------------------------------------

In 8 weeks time there'll be plenty of Cocoon talks, hacking, food, =
beers, laughs - everything you've been waiting for since you left Ghent =
on October 12th last year...

We're very happy that we've got the change to host the GetTogether in =
Amsterdam this year and we'll do everything possible to recreate the =
GetTogether's unique inspiring ambiance again... On popular request this =
year extended with an extra hackathon day!

In the next few weeks we will spread all the details about the =
conference plan, logistics, costs and the like. The details will be =
available at the official Cocoon GetTogether website =
(http://www.cocoongt.org) as soon as possible.

For now, it's our pleasure to officially open the Call For Proposals =
phase.=20
We are looking for you to come on stage and talk about all things =
Cocoon. People who want to present during the GetTogether are kindly =
requested to send in a presentation proposal. Presentation topics will =
be screened for cluefulness, in the sense that we don't want any =
commercial presentations.
Introductory, tutorial-like stuff into new or advanced topics are much =
appreciated though. Please send in your presentation proposal to info at =
cocoongt.org - see below for a template to help you in filling out a =
proposal.

Also, it might be good if we start thinking about how we'll be filling =
the two Hackathon days..? Please jot your ideas down on the Wikipage: =
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/GT2005Hackaton.

Finally, I want to thank the people that responded to Steven's request =
for assistence. Also I'd like to send a big thanks to all the people =
that made the Cocoon GetTogether to such a wonderful experience in the =
last couple of years! I hope we'll be able to provide you with some =
extra sweet chairs this year ;-).
