[AtlanticCanada] Shhhh -> Local Chapter meeting

[Timothy Astle]

  Hi all,

CARIS has offered to host this meeting.  We have projectors, meeting 
rooms and free coffee. :-)

It's a two minute walk from the Delta, which is very convenient.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Delta&daddr=45.96333,-66.66194+to:CARIS+fredericton&hl=en&geocode=FRlcvQIdxNEG_CGrkfxCksS77SktQjLzgRikTDEqvyR-zDY4AA%3BFUJYvQIdzNEG_CnZjR9TghikTDEjTA_NukBJLw%3BFfRFvQIdqc8G_CHnnvo7kjl-CCmZc0OweSKkTDG3Ntse3mYBsA&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=16&via=1&sll=45.961607,-66.660554&sspn=0.010173,0.01929&ie=UTF8&z=16

If we all choose to go ahead with this location, it would be good to 
establish an approximate head-count in advance so that we can have 
appropriate facilities available.  Right now we have at least 4 people 
on the group + maybe another 4 more people from CARIS that would like to 
attend.  That puts the number up to around 8.  Anyone else?

I'm good for any meeting time.


Tim
