<br>
OGUG is Ottawa's GRASS (GIS) Users Group. Although we have members
from Toronto, and as far away as California OGUG was started in the
hopes of forming a local community of GRASS users to learn about GRASS
and arange joint projects. We invite all users of GRASS and GFOSS in
the Ottawa Area to join in. If you want sugestions on how to start your
own local GRASS community contact us for some pointers and
encouragement.<br>
<br>
We represent users from:<br>
--------------------------<br>
* Public Sector<br>
* Private Sector<br>
* Not-For-Profit<br>
* Research / Academic communities<br>
<br>
OGUG Purpose:<br>
-----------------<br>
OGUG focuses its efforts in three capacities to develop of GRASS users
community. First we focus on the use and aplication of GRASS as part of
a general GIS workflow or a tool on its own. Second, we aim to provide
introductory and advanced hands-on support and training to our members
through workshops and seminars. Third we aim to create opportunities
for colaborative projects.<br>
<br>
OGUG will strive to develop some on-line resources such as the
materials covered in a workshop or seminar (Copyrights permiting).<br>
<br>
OGUG is NOT intended as a source of technical knowledge for
development, programming or troubleshooting GRASS. Our discussions will
generaly NOT cover installation issues, compiling woes, discussion of
how to develop a particular modual, or development support. These
issues should and will be directed to the appropriate mailing lists
containing the propper resources.<br>
<br>
What OGUG offers:<br>
----------------------<br>
* <b>Monthly meetings:</b> starting with a seminar or workshop and
ending with a pint (or other Beverage) and networking<br>
* <b>Introductory workshops:</b> GRASS from the roots up (beginers),
QGIS as an interface<br>
* <b>Advanced Workshops:</b> GRASS and; R-stats, postgres, mapserver,
etc<br>
* <b>Project Colaboration:</b> eg. developing university curriculum,
