[Ottawa_users] Meeting with Scott about GIS Day and Software Freedom Day

[Regie Alam]

Hello guys,

    Adreeta has indicated that she won't be available to do the QGIS
customization presentation/workshop. Any takers to fill that spot?

   For the Software Freedom Day event should we have a theme? Something
like manipulating/using Ottawa's Open Data with open source tools?

Cheers,
Regie
