based on counties) and ideas for any local issues that would be tackled by the
sub-chapter. Perhaps you would also share suggestions for our sub-chapters

Regarding sponsorship + potential membership .. I am meeting more & more

and I've recently met the folks at CIRGIS http://cirgis.org/ . Members of
CIRGIS did mention interest in sponsorship opportunities at the last meeting
Jan 8th 2009 - I will consider mentioning OSGeo sponsorship at the next
meeting March 5.<br>

I'm not sure if there's a particular need for a sub chapter in order to<br>
handle the conference. Once again the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Davis</st1:place></st1:City> crew will be traveling to<br>
