Hi Chris & Cameron,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm honoured to have the opportunity
to contribute to these projects and to work with and learn from superb
mentors. I very much like the fact that both OODT and SIS are
developed and used by NASA. It will be a great feeling and sense of
achievement for me if I can make a positive contribution and therefore
benefit these projects.
Regards,
Ross
