In particular, I had the idea that on Friday September 28, 2007, there may be the possibility for people who attended the conference to do some "outreach". Looking at the minutes of the last Education Committee meeting, I see mention of post-secondary education, but I wonder if there exists the possibility of educational opportunities for Victoria K-12 schools(OK, maybe "K" is a bit young, but you get my point :-) -- Dave Patton Degree Confluence Project: Canadian Coordinator Technical Coordinator http://www.confluence.org/ FOSS4G2007: Workshop Committee Conference Committee http://www.foss4g2007.org/ Personal website: Maps, GPS, etc. http://members.shaw.ca/davepatton/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
