I will not be there, and will not be in Victoria either.

If it turns out to be an official chapter meeting,
then I'd like the following to be on the agenda.

When the meeting was postponed in February:
"OSGeo BC Chapter meeting **postponed to next fiscal**"
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo-bc/2008-February/thread.html
I said:
---------------------------------------------------
This needs to be on the agenda for the next chapter meeting.

I disagree with the notion that meetings can be postponed
without discussion and voting by chapter members (unless
of course the chapter membership votes to confer that
capability to the chapter's executive).
---------------------------------------------------
I received a private email that agreed that it should
be discussed at the next meeting, and a similar sentiment
was expressed in conversations with two other members.
