If by associate you mean "another damned Canadian", yes. :) Frank is an
open-source GIS fixture, and we newcomers owe alot to him already.

By bringing PostGIS up to spec, I mean finishing all the Simple Features
for SQL functions specified by OpenGIS. These include some very hard
functions, like intersection, unions and buffers. Doing that work is the
other half of having an OpenGIS spatial database. The first half,
supporting the input/output formats and the easier accessors functions,
and having spatial indexing, is already in PostGIS.
