As I mentione din a previous post, location is not too important, infact
it's base should be Canada.
As we found out, location might be exclusionary, such as the viewes of
other OSGEO folk on the Ottawa chapter.
however, perhaps the person to head up the whole thing might be from
Winnepeg. Are you volunteering?
Cheers

Why not base the Canadian Chapter at the Longitudinal Centre of
Canada: Winnipeg? I welcome the idea of having a Canadian Chapter
regardless of where it is based!

Calling all Canucks,
Over at the Ottawa Chapter there has been a gaggle of discussions
concerning chapters and OSGEO activity in Canada.
This is where I present the concept of the Canadian chapter of OSGEO.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Canada
Being 4 weeks + 1 day away from the initial meeting of people interested
in the formation of an OSGeo BC Chapter, my initial opinion is that this
is 'too early'.
I think a 'national chapter' would be better formed once there are 'at
least a few' local chapters.
On the other hand, maybe I have it backwards - in 4 weeks, maybe it will
be clear to the 'BC chapter' that we should be forming a regional
chapter within the 'OSGeo Canadian National Chapter'.
P.S.
Of course we all know that we wouldn't want to fall into 'the same old
pattern', so a national chapter would be based 'out west', not in 'the
center of Canada' ;-)
