Sorry for the delayed response.<br>
<br>

I believe we have a few lurkers in the Southern California area, but not<br>
anyone really active that I can think of. I do remember someone from<br>
Southern California that listened into one of our meetings. (His first<br>
name was Joe?) Most of the activity in our chapter is coming out of the<br>
UC Davis Campus. Alex Mandel is taking the lead there. We've also got<br>
someone from the Sacramento area that works at the California Geological<br>
Survey, if I am not mistaken.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Brian Hamlin is also quite active, and I believe he hangs his hat in the<br>
Bay Area. I'm in the Central Valley.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The size of our state is a challenge to organizing OSGeo activities.<br>
We've talked about organizing smaller regional chapters in the state,<br>
but I don't think we have the support for that yet. Personally, I would<br>
like us to think about how we can draw more OSGeo enthusiasts from<br>
California together via online means. Alex has focused a lot on getting<br>
an OSGeo presence at California conferences, which is great, but I'm<br>
personally interested in seeing what we can do as a group on the<br>
software front. Our chapter is home to Silicon Valley, after all. :]<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've been meaning to bring this up, but haven't had the time to put<br>
together an intelligent e-mail. I will try to make time to do so this<br>
week.<br>

I'm looking to meet up with fellow Los Angeles based osgeo people. I<br>
put a call out in the California chapter email list but did not get a<br>
response. Perhaps you all are lurking here on the main list? I work<br>
in downtown LA. Let me know where you at!<br>
