 I'm planning to be teaching a course in spatial stats to some
foresters at SFU in Vancouver, July 26-30th. I really should have a
bit of a holiday as well, so hanging around the NW for a meeting would
be an option. I'd prefer a meeting to be held in Canada so I don't
have to go through US customs (although arriving in Seattle on the
boat from Victoria after OSGeo was rather civilised).

 Am getting my airfare paid so no problem getting there.

 I'd like to work on integration with other GIS toolkits (but that's
only because I *still* don't grok Grass's workspace concept!)
