Robert Fabian is a management and systems consultant in Canada, who has been in computing for many decades. Robert has been involved with CIPS, the Canadian Information Processing Society for a long time too, and they are moving to Drupal as a platform to manage their 30-odd sites, after evaluating other CMS/CMF systems.

I met Robert at the Ontario Linux Fest in October 2007, and then yesterday at the Drupal Users Group meeting in Toronto.

Since I know internationalization is a big deal to Canadians, I figured I'd cross-post this to some groups. Please don't kill me, this is important. :) There's very little time to get these patches in before code freeze! (June 1)
