Hello all, yada-yada (*) The paper submission deadline for LAC2009 is just a little more than 100 hours away, and the response so far has been rather disappointing, to the point that there would not be much of a conference at all. The deadline could be extended by two weeks (29 Jan, midnight), but that would make sense only if we know there will be sufficient submissions. So if you are planning to submit a paper, or present a workshop please let me know *ASAP*, and in any case before the original deadline (15 Jan, midnight). Ciao, (*) This means 'best wishes for 2009 !' -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
