…school, job, trips, move, army, school, move, new job…lots of things have been happening in my life with speed of light, so I’ve had to change most of my plans, especially those about traveling. And, I can’t make it to attend the FOSS4G 2008 conference.

Nevertheless, I’m still listed next to two positions of the conference program and that’s correct. I planned to help Frank Warmerdam during the Raster Processing and Preparation with GDAL workshop and to give one presentation – Introduction to ASPRS LAS data processing with libLAS.

Apparently, I won’t be able to assist Frank during the workshop – I’m sorry Frank! and I’m crossing my fingers for you. And, the libLAS presentation will be given by…Frank – crossing my fingers harder :-) Originally, I promised Frank I will provide him with presentation slides and I’ll be a virtual assistant. Actually, I failed even with that :-(

Fortunately, Hobu took over this task and prepared PDF document with a set of fantastic slides. Frank and Howard have really saved my ass and I’d like to send them veeery big thanks!

I regret I can’t come to Cape Town, to experience the fantastic atmosphere, to see hundreds geogeeks together, to have a great time with friends and to drink a little too much beer with Tim. See you guys in Sydney, 2009!
