Subject: RE: [xtm-wg] Notes of Marketing Committee Teleconference - mondeca product presentation ?
Hello, I see in the minutes that a part of the morning activities will be the presentation of 3 topic map softwares, as the products name aren't mentioned I don't know if you let a space for Mondeca's Topic Map Navigator. If not could you do so, we work hard to get the soft ready for that day. Can you confirm. Thanks a lot Sincerely Jean Delahousse CEO Mondeca Mobile : +33(0)6 16 90 73 95 Tel : +33(0)1 47 46 18 89 Fax : +33(0)1 47 46 01 09 www.mondeca.com > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Andrius Kulikauskas [mailto:ms@ms.lt] > Envoyé : jeudi 2 novembre 2000 19:20 > À : xtm-wg@egroups.com > Objet : [xtm-wg] Notes of Marketing Committee Teleconference > > > I volunteered to take notes of our conference call.
