<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=093082723-30052008>I'd also like to
thank members of the OSGeo community for being so welcoming. There's too many
names to mention everyone, but I would be remiss if I didn't thank Dave
McIlhagga who provided much guidance and many introductions to meet the great
people I've met in the past year. Thanks Dave.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=093082723-30052008>Given such a high
calibre of the other candidates, I hope I earn enough votes to make
the cut as I'm fairly new to the community. I promise to do my best in the role
should I make the cut.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

you at bootcamp if you can make it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
