Desidero sottoporvi l'abstract che cerchero' di farmi accettare al FOSS4G 2007 nonostante siamo orami fuori data.
Vi prego di voler segnalare correzzioni, od eventuali modifiche nelle prossime ore, poiché in serata sottomettero' il tutto.
Mi scuso per la tempistica estremamente ridotta ma ci siamo (mi sono!) svegliati tardi.... 
Grazie,
Maxi
