Seminar suggestions for the JA-SIG Spring 2008 Conference

[Barbara Glover]

Hi Paul
Thanks for sending this reminder out.

Is there a time slot already for the UCamp?  I think we typically  
have a 1/2 day UCamp but might want to look at making it a full day  
with some collaboration with developers.

thanks
Barbara
