[EMP2012] FW: Smartphones and Spatial Apps workshop - CAIRNS Queensland, November 16th - cross promotion oportunity for eclipse megamovie

Fri Nov 2 16:23:42 MDT 2012

As fate would have it, I am actually flying home on the 17th (couldn't 
get the same return flight as you Scott).

Might they be interested in the participation of a lowly electron shepherd?
