I am all for such an invitation -


And we should definetely try to invite regional people over. ,
One other person I've been in touch with is Cicero Moraes, who had
been doing an astonishing work on facial reconstruction, 3D modelling
for prostetics - animal and human alike, with several success
histories.

He is from here (Goias state), but since I am already known to him, he
did not imagine how important the invitatio was - (and merely answered
with an "well, I might be able to go". ) If someone else could check
on his work and make a more formal invitation, maybe we could really
get him in.  (http://www.ciceromoraes.com.br/blog/ )


Nice :) I am happy to try :)

The site - at least a preliminar version, should be online at most
next week. It will feature a call for papers text - but maybe I should
submit it here for review first.


Dropping the text in email here or an etherpad can't hurt 😂


(Before someone raise a point on "who should be invited" - for LGM,
actually everyone is an "invited speaker" - the bigger difference is
if we do an effort to individually ask for a proposal submission to
some people or not. But I understand everyone is able to make such
invitations - pointing to the call for papers process once it is
there, and invite anyone person they find relevant)


I guess what I meant is to have specific speakers that we invite and
"pre-accept" with a prominent position in the schedule - or, keynote
presentations - and then use to attract further submissions and participant
registrations.
