Ok, room confirmation was quicker than I thought. We have a room
reserved in Hunt Hall at UC Davis for December 7th all day. It's
the same place we used a couple of years ago. <br>
<br>
I like the idea of an OSM mapping party or some other entry-level
activity. I'll be giving a guest lecture in the into GIS class in
the week right before the meeting, so it would be nice to be able to
invite the students there and tell them that not all of it will be
way over their heads.<div class="im"><br>

<div>I've reviewed the 6 responses to my survey on the annual
meeting and made some updates to the wiki page:</div>
<div><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_California_Chapter_2013_Annual_Meeting" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_California_Chapter_2013_Annual_Meeting</a></div>

<div>If Michele is still willing to host us at UC Davis, it
looks like a date of December 7th works good for everyone.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The most popular talk topics were "Geospatial Programming
in Python" and "GIS on Mobile Devices". I added a second 30
minute talk about how we've been using ODK at my day job to do
monitoring of flood control infrastructure in the Delta. I've
also added a workshop in the early afternoon on open source
Python scripting with ArcGIS.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another popular talk topic was "GIS Database Management and
Design". I left a 30 minute slot open before lunch if someone
would like to speak. Please let me know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All of the activites I suggested got a roughly equal number
of votes. I've volunteered Brian to lead an activity for work
on the OSGeo Live. I also added an OSM mapping party for those
that don't want to work on the OSGeo Live. Can someone
volunteer to coordinate the OSM activity? (If not, I'll take
care of it.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can we use the OSM activity to pull in some people that
might not otherwise attend the meeting?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please review the proposed schedule and program for the
annual meeting and let me know if you have any comments. Once
we've ironed out the kinks, I'll put together a 1 or 2 page
flyer we can use to promote the meeting.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
