[Aust-NZ] Re: FW: Qld/Brisbane Chapter of OsGeo ?

[Scott Penrose]

Hi Bruce

I don't think having regional groups is in anyway diluted talent.
This may be my own thinking, but I feel that a regional group is where  
the value is.
Unless you have local people you can call on and meet with, it may as  
well be a global group.
I.e. the value of Aust-NZ is to help facilitate two things:
* Conferences - well done
* Local meets / talent.

Think global, act local :-)

That does not however stop you working together across australia too,  
just my opinion of the value of local groups.
