Ed,
pardon my lack of howto here I'm not even a fraction of Don and Landis
when it comes to organizing these things, this was improvised + I'm
overtime employed outside panos already. I needed reminding about
veterans days in the US, thanks to you and Don for that.
I did receive 6-7 participation promises and 3 submissions as of now:
Reunion Island, Canada and Belgium (the later being :) mine). I expect
2 more from France and 1 other to be shot in Scotland tomorrow.
pending but trusted participations are from Austria (1), France (2),
Slovenia (1), Poland (1), UK (1) US (1). Existing material submitted
are from Egypt (2) and France (2). Your panos are very welcome !
From the 2 existing submissions, the trend is home hosted and
cross-linked to each other's site. My trend is to thumbnail/host 1 of
each and link to full blown submission on participating sites. If it
turns out great it could even be a domain, options are still very open.
I still need to write my story before I can show my panos public, but
if you have some please submit them on/off list
