een paar weken geleden reeds claimden om er een familiedag van te maken (ik heb
3 puberende dochters, dus een familiedag is eerder exceptioneel en moet
gekoesterd worden …), was mijn voorstel om in de voormiddag Utrecht te
bezoeken en in de namiddag nog iets leuks te doen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

over de plaats waar we de conferentie willen laten doorgaan. Wanneer mijn
kinderen niet geprikkeld worden om een dagje naar Utrecht te komen, dan zal dit
eveneens gelden voor alle potentiële OSGeo-ers die we in 2010 verwachten.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The Netherlands (Holland), on the coast of
the North Sea, is twice the size of New Jersey. Part of the great plain of
north and west Europe, the Netherlands has maximum dimensions of 190 by 160 mi
(360 by 257 km) and is low and flat except in Limburg in the southeast, where
some hills rise to 300 ft (92 m). About half the country's area is below sea
level, making the famous Dutch dikes a requisite for the use of much land.
Reclamation of land from the sea through dikes has continued through recent
times. All drainage reaches the North Sea, and the principal
rivers—Rhine, Maas (Meuse), and Schelde—have their sources outside
the country.</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
