[Foundation-l] URGENT: Call of Paper KnowRight 2006 DEADLINE 15.11.05

Fri Nov 11 17:59:12 UTC 2005

Actually that could very well be my stuff.

Just for the record, apart being the legal officer at wikimedia, I am 
currently a researcher in law at the CNRS and the University of Paris 2.

Actually Danièle Bourcier, my PhD director, is even in the submission 
commitee.

Too bad for the deadline but I can try to produce something before 
Sunday maybe.

Is it possible to do something about it ?
