__NOTITLE__
The next GMOD Community Meeting will be held 6-7 August, 2009, in Oxford UK. The meeting is a part of GMOD Europe 2009, a week long event that also includes a GMOD Summer School. This is the first time a GMOD meeting has been held in Europe.
Registration is now open, and space is available on a first come, first served basis. There is room for 55 attendees, and the meeting cost is £50.
As with previous GMOD meetings, this meeting will have a mixture of project talks, component talks, and user talks. The agenda is driven by attendee suggestions, and you are encouraged to add your suggestions now. For examples of what happens at a GMOD meeting, see the writeups of the January 2009, July 2008, or any other previous meeting. GMOD meetings are an excellent way to meet GMOD developers and users, and to learn (and affect) what's coming in the project.
Please join us in Oxford this August.
Cost and Registration
The cost is £50, which includes a catered lunch on Friday. Payment can be made with a credit card. After registering you will receive a confirmation email from Oxford, listing amount paid and your order number.
Space is limited to the first 55 people to register and is available on a first come, first served basis.
Note: We cannot provide invoices. However, we can provide a signed letter on NESCent letterhead stating that payment was received, and listing your order number, and who to contact at Oxford to confirm this. If you want such a letter, please contact Dave Clements.
