Re: Computing School Prior to the Osaka 2008 meeting

Many things, especially hotel and travel free, are  more expensive in 
August than in September.

If we will plan the computing school in August, I have to find 
another place with reasonable price.

However, I agree that the computing school should be held before the congress.
