Some of us are home safe

Hi Everyone,

I arrived home safe last night. I counted it up... spent 58 hours on planes flying to, from, and around Australia. I don't know about the others but I I'm thoroughly done with airport terminals and going though security for a while.

As one of my Ingres colleagues in Australia said to me: "Is a third of the conference from Ottawa?!" referring to the good representation of the local folks in Sydney for FOSS4G.

Next meeting we can talk about the experiences of those that went.

Also, stay tuned for videos of the talks - FOSSLC was there and recorded most of them. We had a few volunteers bail on us at the last moment so some days we only recorded 3 or 4 of the 5 rooms. It's a pity as the reason they bailed was that they wanted to catch talks in other rooms we were recording... c'est la vie I suppose.

Also, in case we're looking for fodder, I could talk about Drupal & the location + mapping plugins running on Ingres - this is a little project we did recently and demoed in Sydney along with our other stuff. It's kinda neat and makes mapping data very easy.

If you're interested, my pictures are up here:

Safe journeys to those still down under. Best of luck to those fighting jet lag. ;-)

I'd be interested in a November meeting if it fit my schedule.  I've only been to one meeting ~2 years ago, and would like to get more involved in the group again!

Hi Dave,

I haven't videoed Drupal w/ location & maps yet... though I should. I will do so.

I can run it on my laptop so I can demo it and talk about it locally.

I'm good for a November meeting, though I'm not free all days.
