I was looking forward to seeing you. Will you make HAR or T-Dose?

I can ask Andreas if it is declined. I mailed them that another member of the CentOS Promo SIG would be able to take over my presentation as to minimize their inconvenience and gave the following names with emailaddress : GeerdDietgerHoffmann : ribalba at gmail.com (already a speaker) Marcus Moeller : mail at marcus-moeller.de Andreas Rogge : a.rogge at solvention.de I asked them to confirm whether anybody else can take over my presentation or if they will reassign it themselves. As soon as they inform me, I will relay the message -- Toshaan <toshlinux at gmail.com> - http://www.toshaan.be
