[OSGeo-Discuss] Canadian Chapter (call for interested individuals)

[Dave Sampson]

As I mentione din a previous post, location is not too important, infact 
it's base should be Canada.

As we found out, location might be exclusionary, such as the viewes of 
other OSGEO folk on the Ottawa chapter.

however, perhaps the person to head up the whole thing might be from 
Winnepeg. Are you volunteering?

Cheers
