CoFI mailing lists; CoFI workshop in Cachan, 7-11/11/98 - REGISTER NOW



Dear CoFI friends,

Please excuse the misuse of this technical mailing list for a
non-technical general announcement.  This is in response to complaints
from some people that they have not heard about the ESPRIT-funded CoFI
Working Group or about the recently-announced upcoming CoFI workshop
in Cachan.

In addition to the various technical mailing lists, to which this
message is addressed (cofi-language@brics.dk, cofi-reactive@brics.dk,
etc.) there is a low-volume mailing list,
	cofi-list@brics.dk
to which all general CoFI announcements, including all announcements
about CoFI WG, are sent.  *Everybody* who is interested in CoFI is
expected to subscribe to this mailing list.  See
	http://www.brics.dk/Projects/CoFI/MailingLists.html
for information about all the CoFI mailing lists including subscription
information and archives.

Enclosed below is a copy of my recent announcement about the upcoming
CoFI workshop in Cachan.  Register now!  There is travel funding
available from CoFI WG for eligible participants, see below.

Don Sannella
CoFI WG coordinator

WARNING: Please register asap. Hotel accommodation will be very difficult
to arrange for that period due to other events. It will be slightly
easier to change date of arrival/date of departure than to find a hotel
room at the last minute. So, if you are sure you will attend but you don't
yet know your travel schedule, please pre-register NOW and let me know
later your exact dates of arrival/departure. 

Registered participants will be sent more information about the location of
the workshop, the hotel, and on how to reach Cachan (which is very near
Paris).

Please send the above completed form by e-mail to:
Michel.Bidoit@lsv.ens-cachan.fr
