A beautiful web presence has been created (http://opendataottawa.ca/) and a wiki is filling up with ideas. The invite goes out to: - Developers - Designers - Librarians - Statisticians - Citizens This is a wonderful opportunity to apply ones professional skills as a citizen to build something together! I have included people in this correspondence who may not have attended this type of event before, but I know that you as activists, professors, students, engaged citizens, geomaticians, public servants, union organizers, etc. may know people who might be interested in contributing to this and you may have other lists to disseminate this to. There are also some Montrealers & Torontonians who may want to come and show their wares and re-purpose them for the city of Ottawa. -- Tracey P.

Replacement doesn't need to be same vendor, but needs to work against the Bell ADSL DSLAM's we connect to in Ottawa. Any recommendations, including a place to buy? Note: Preference is just a modem to plug into my existing setup, but if I have to buy as a combo with a router I'll want it to be one that can run OpenWRT or similar so I can properly configure it to work within my LAN. Sorry to ask here, but this is the best place I could think of with people who would be in-the-know. Thanks. -- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: Please help us tell the Canadian Parliament to protect our property rights as owners of Information Technology.
