Hi California OSGeo people!<br>
It was good to see so many of you in Burlingame! I met Eric (see
below) at the OSGeo booth at the conference. He wants OSGeo to have
a presence at the Nevada Geographical Society conference. I'm not
sure if this is something we should handle as (possibly) the nearest
chapter, or if we should let the bigger org know. Thoughts,
comments, ideas?<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
We just met each other at FOSS4GNA in
Burnlingame.<br>
<br>
</div>
I am one of the board members of the
Nevada Geographic Information Society (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ngis.org">www.ngis.org</a>).
Our 2015 meeting, at Lake Tahoe the week
of October 12, 2015 will be our
TWENTY-FIFTH annual meeting.<br>
<br>
</div>
So, we've been at this a while. Our
members have seen the world of GIS go from
an obscure priesthood to a mainstream part
of the modern world; from worrying about
actual clouds on our 6250bpi streaming
tape reels of LANDSAT data to spatial data
in virtual clouds.<br>
<br>
</div>
Of course, we would like the 25th meeting to
be something special (aside from being at
Lake Tahoe, of course). Open source and the
support network around it are (to my mind)
one of the biggest and best new things in
the geospatial work environment in decades.<br>
<br>
</div>
We (the NGIS Board) would very much welcome
your organization's presence at our annual
meeting (calendar announcement: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ngis.org/event-1871390">http://www.ngis.org/event-1871390</a>).
As vendors, as presenters, as workshop-givers.
In short, helping to sponsor the meeting
and/or make it a fantastic event for the
attendees.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>(Just to be clear -- we'd welcome you,
personally, as well as your organization!)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Our Vice President, Eric Schmidt, is serving as
the Conference Chair. I have cc'd him on this
email, but you can reply to both of us.<br>
<br>
</div>
I understand you might be passing this on to
someone else in your organization. Thanks for
doing so, as appropriate.<br>
<br>
</div>
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Looking forward to hearing that you'll be there! <br>
<br>
</div>
Yours,<br>
<br>
</div>
- Eric<br>
