Hello,<div><br></div><div>After a lot of schedule crunching, the provisional schedule for the State of the Map 2009 is now available in a first pass form. This is mainly so that speakers can check their talks and scheduling:</div>

<div><br></div><div>There were a record breaking 62 talks submitted this year - almost twice the number of talks submitted in previous years. All of the talks were really high quality and many have a different focus to talks in previous years. </div>
<div><br></div><div>With so many talks submitted this year, we're having two tracks, as well as workshops. You can find a provisional schedule here (click on "Look for More"): <a href="http://www.stateofthemap.org/schedules/" target="_blank">http://www.stateofthemap.org/schedules/</a> . You can grab XML & iCAL feed and mash-up for fun or profit ;-) More details will be added to the schedules over the next few weeks.</div>
