[AtlanticCanada] Happy New Year

[Timothy Astle]

I'm glad you sent this email.  I've been thinking about this, but I've 
been caught up with the Maritime Java User's Group. :-)

February would be great for me.  We just need a date / location.  Worst 
case, we can always do some teleconferencing as I know CARIS is willing 
to offer this for people in and around Fredericton.  We could probably 
do the same with the University as I have a few contacts there too.

I'm all for the MapServer workshop.  Sounds like a great start and it's 
good to have a subject matter expert giving the course!

_Growing Involvement_

I'm thinking we should try to get into contact with representatives at 
the various Colleges and Universities in the region.  That would 
probably be a fairly easy "quick win" to gain involvement.

Does anyone have any good contacts already, or should I just start 
digging up names from my rolodex (heh, how old is that??!) and see what 
I can find.
