ANN: XML Prague 2007

[Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz>]

Hi folks,

I will use this opportunity to invite everyone to attend XML
Prague 2007 (http://www.xmlprague.cz/). You will see and hear excellent
speakers talking about up-to-date topics (and yes, Norm will have
DocBook session during the conference). As the conference is quite
small (around 120-130 people) it has very cosy atmosphere. Moreover we
made this conference for fun, not for money, so conference rate is
ridiculously low. And if you have spare time you can spend few more days
in Prague, which is very attractive touristic location (btw, conference
itself is located in former monastery from 17th century).
