[Ottawa_users] GeoOttawa group launched: first meetup on nov 6

[Fabien Ancelin]

Hello Richard.

That is a great idea! Creating a separate group is probably the best thing
to do. Count on me to check that out. The venue look awesome and hopefully
it will lead to some really interesting talks.

I will see you there or for the next Meeting.
