<div dir="ltr">Hi, <div><br></div><div>Just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to attending FOSS4G.</div><div><br></div><div>Last month, I told my job interviewer, in essence: "I'm going to the FOSS4G conference, so I won't be available to work that week (if you hire me)."</div>
<div><br></div><div>Well, they hired me anyway (and required that I start a week early, from home). This has been a busy week! I'm packing today to move to Brooklyn for the new job, then flying to <b>Portland</b> next Saturday... then back to Brooklyn/job... then four days later, a new AirBnB. (The job lasts just until mid-November.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So... that's my moving-heaven-and-earth story (okay, just moving myself, really) to get to FOSS4G.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I purchased a copy of MapInfo in 1991. I've been mapping in an ever-evolving series of technologies every since. Lately mostly Leaflet or TileMill.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Looking forward to the Flask workshop, and learning about whatever the heck PySal is...</div><div><br></div><div>I followed some of the email discussion... almost volunteered on the "who wants to make a map" thread but realized I simply didn't have time. (Plus, I don't know anything about Portland). Has that map been made? I'd love to get oriented to conference-specific locations. (Just checked, and I see that all the dropbox links from that thread are yielding 404 errors.) Can anyone send that map?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Are most people staying at the DoubleTree?</div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to meeting everyone.</div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Margie</div><div><br></div><div>--<br>
