[LGM] Update on LGM 2017

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

Sorry -

My previous e-mail is missing Alexndreś address: Alexandre Rezende
<alexandre.cantini at gmail.com>

The most of-schedlue thing is the web-site. I will write a quick note
right now, and ask for Ale to put it on the openning page for
"libregraphiscmeeting.org"  asserting the cofnerence dates and
instructions for asking letters.

Regards,
