[California] Planning for Exhibits, help needed

[Brian Hamlin]

Hey Chris-

   well being in San Diego, you have to opportunity to see the  
grand-daddy of California OSGeo Labs - the VizLab run by "Hyper" John  
Graham!

   I am not exactly sure the distinctions between the Supercomputer  
Center, CalIT2 and the VizLab.. but they are all there
Take a look around.. then after you find out what you can on your own,  
we can arrange an introduction sometime. (I think John Graham is on  
year-end vacation still anyway)

   best regards
    -Brian
