[OSGeo BC] Vancouver goes open?

[Gerry James]

Sorry I sent that reply just to Tyler...my bad.

I would strongly recommend contacting Jonathan Marks.  He is the GIS manager
with the COV (at least he used to be).  I have spoken to him a few times but
wouldn't necessarily call him a contact.  I do not have any other contacts
but would be very interested to collaborate with you on a meeting.

Let me know how I can help with this initiative.

Thanks,
Gerry

Thanks to Will for sending me this article:
http://eaves.ca/2009/05/14/vancouver-enters-the-age-of-the-open-city/

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 :)
