LFG 2008 - First call for papers (revised)

[Martin Forst]

Dear Josef, dear all,

> submissions (see below) in the revised call for papers for LFG 2008?
The Executive Committee introduced this restriction in order to secure 
diversity in the papers.
The rationale behind this goal is that quality is of course crucial for 
a conference program, but breadth is important, too.

Although we (i.e. the Program Committee - lfg08 at easychair.org) do not 
expect the restriction to rule out a lot of potential submissions, we 
are interested in knowing what people think about it, in particular if 
they are opposed to it. Please let us know your arguments and, even more 
importantly, the number of additional abstracts you would have submitted 
if the restriction did not exist. The Executive Committee will consider 
these in the decision of whether to keep the restriction for LFG 2009.

Best regards,

Martin
