Dear Fluid,

Below is a reminder from Michael Korcuska:


> Sakai community conferences have emerged as high-energy occasions  
> for extended face-to-face interactions between our community of  
> designers, developers, pedagogists, faculty, students, user support  
> specialists, system administrators, and educational technology  
> managers. Sakai conferences provide a welcoming and informative  
> venue for all all those interested in seeing what the Sakai  
> community and software are all about.
>
> The 2008 Sakai Community Conference will be held in Paris, France  
> from Tuesday July 1 through Thursday July 3, with pre-conference  
> sessions and activities on Monday, 30 June. All meetings and  
> conference sessions will be held at the Universite Pierre et Marie  
> Curie in the 5th arrondissement--a spectacular location in the heart  
> of one of the world's great cities. The ever popular Sakai  
> demonstrations will take place on Wednesday evening, July 2nd, at  
> the conference hotel, the Marriott Rive Gauche, which is located  
> nearby.  A special reception, hosted by the Executive Director of  
> the Sakai Foundation, will be held at the Marriott on Monday evening  
> for all Sakai newcomers. If you're relatively new to Sakai this is a  
> great way to learn about how to get the most out of the conference.
>
> Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technologies at  
> the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, will deliver the  
> keynote address. Featured speakers include Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO  
> of Giunti Labs and Chair of the European Learning Industry Group,  
> James Dalziel of Macquarie University and creator of LAMS, Wendy  
> Mackay with INRIA, Futurs at University Paris-Sud. With more than  
> 140 sessions and workshops it promises to be another terrific event.
>
> Please visit the conference website (https://sakai.educonference.com/paris/index.php 
> ) to see the preliminary schedule, register for the conference and  
> secure a room at the conference hotel (discounts available through  
> June 10).  We look forward to seeing you in Paris!
