Fwd: GIS Day Speaker

[Scott W Mitchell]

Does anybody have suggestions for an "inspirational speaker" for  
Carleton's GIS Day events (see below) ?

Also, should we try for an OSGEO presence?  I don't think there's any  
problem with me requesting that OSGEO Ottawa could have some space,  
but we'd need to figure out what form the presence could/should take.

I'll forward details about the event when I get it in case anyone  
wants to just attend/pass on the info, too.

Cheers,
Scott
