Re: [RPRWG] Re: Req for Paper deadline extension
I have a 6am flight out on the 7th, and would love to have the presentations
uploaded by the 6th, so I can download them to my computer and study them on
my flight over.
Could we ask everyone to send in what they have by the initial deadline and
bring paper copies or disks with the final presentation, to be loaded on a
server at the IEEE office or at the meeting
