    Good evening,

    This is Fernando Asanza from AEMET - Spain,

    Last Friday, January 12, I filled and sent you my registration form for this Crowdsourcing Workshop (14~15 of February), and I have a couple of questions about it:

    1. As I didn't receive back any feedback or confirmation about my registration, I ask you for it, please, do you confirm me all is allrigth?
    2. In order to prepair mi presentation about AEMET's miniMET Project, could you tell me how much time approximately would I have for it? And which technical means (PC, projector, etc)? I am preparing an abstract about it for you, will send it this week.

     

    Best regards,

    Fernando Asanza Fernaud

    Hello Fernando & all.

    Let me inform you that our system didn't provide any separate feedback or confirmation of your registrations. We have now got apr. 20 registrations but are still waiting for a couple of latecomers to register. We will work for the program later this week or early next week after the list of participants is finalized. My rough estimate is that a typical length of presentations will be 15 min.

     

    Best regards

    Juhana Hyrkkänen
