Re: [CFP] MoDeST @ ISWC 2016 - Mobile Deployment of Semantic Technologies

Thank you Jeff for doing the right thing here. I hope others will follow 
your example: relevant and with [CfP] in the subject line.

Meanwhile, the messages we got today about the i-society thing are duly 
marked as spam and the sender is being blocked.

Cheers

Phil.
