[OSGeo-Discuss] planning for an osgeo local chapter in the Philippines

[Jeff McKenna]

Just to add to Arnulf's message: you might want to start by creating a 
wiki page your Philippine chapter, similar to the Vietnam chapter 
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Vietnam).  Be sure to include the tag 
"[[Category:Local Chapters]]" in your wiki page so that your chapter 
page appears on: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Local_Chapters  You 
can also request for your own mailing list hosted by OSGeo...and you can 
follow Arnulf's advice to ask these requests/questions on the Local 
Chapter list.

I'm happy to see a new chapter forming in your country! :)
