[OSGeo BC] Vancouver goes open?

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Thanks to Will for sending me this article:

I'd like to come up with a plan to discuss this move with city  
administrators in Vancouver.  So asking for your input on a couple  
fronts:

* Are you familiar with the current geospatial projects going on in  
the city?  I assume it's a huge list of complex wild stuff, but  
looking for specific ideas where we could connect.
* Do you have a good contact for following up with city management- 
level staff there?  City Manager is responsible on paper, but who  
else might you know from the geospatial angle that I could meet with?
* Available/interested to join with me if I can get a meeting?

Best wishes, brainstorming welcome :)
