Merci d'avoir fait suivre cette annonce Yves. J'ajouterais aussi que 
plusieurs de vos compatriotes Français/Européens se payent une traversée 
de l'Atlantique afin de participer/contribuer:

   * Olivier Courtin (PostGIS - TinyOWS)
   * Thomas Bonfort (MapServer)
   * Gérald Fenoy (ZOO-Project)
   * Nicolas Bozon (ZOO-Project)
   * Stephan Meißl (MapServer)
