+\begin{itemize}
+\item Do you like programming? 
+\item Are you interested in how your language really works? 
+\item Would you like to try and build a computational grammar for your language, 
+  and make it available as a part of an international open-source 
+  programming effort? 
+\end{itemize}
+
+Then you should consider attending the GF Resource Grammar Summer School 
+in Gothenburg on 17-28 August 2009.
+
+The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource
+that currently covers 12 languages. The Summer School is a part of a 
+collaborative effort to extend the library to all of the 23 official 
+EU languages. Also other languages chosen by the participants are welcome.
+
+The missing EU languages are: 
+Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian,
+Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian. There is also more work to
+be done on Polish and Romanian.
+
+The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
+and basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications
+and also ported to other formats. It can also be used for building other
+linguistic resources, such as morphological lexica and parsers.
+The library is licensed under LGPL.
+
+In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students
+working together. A morphology implementation will be credited
+as a Chalmers course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation
+will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the
+morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar.
+
+Participation in the summer school is free. 
+Registration is done via the courses's Google group,
+

+\end{verbatim}
+The registration deadline is 15 June 2009.
+
+Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a
+GF programming contest in April and May.
