Greetings, individuals! We've had five very good talks proposed so far; it'd be great to have even more. The deadline is this Friday, November 13th. As a reminder, you may submit your talk proposal at http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/2010talks_Submissions. More details are below. -Mike On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 14:25, Michael J.
