[Talk-ca] SOTM Canada - Ottawa September 27 (tentative)

[Teresa Baldwin]

Hi everyone, Sam,

Sam, I think that idea is great, although I admit I am completely biased as
I live in Ottawa. I will also forward this on to the OSGeo chapter's mailing
list and see if I can get any support there. Rooms may be possible at a few
locations, depending on the number of people that show up.
I will take a look into it and will let you, Sam, and the list know.
Also: anybody else on this list in Ottawa?

Cheers!
