<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi All,<br><br></div>Just to let you all know that we had our
first skype call to establish the Irish OSGeo Local Chapter. Below are
some high level minutes from the call:<br><br>Keep in touch.<br><br>best regards,<br>Daniel. <br><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Irish OSGeo Local Chapter Meeting 24.09.2015 17h00 (40 minutes)<br><br></div><div>Attendance: Daniel McInerney, Ozan Emem, Declan Dunne<br></div><div>Apologies: Peter Mooney, Dave Corley<br><br></div><div>- Each participant gave a short intro on their background and experience with OSGeo software.<br></div><div>-
It was suggested that all members should spend some time to review and
edit the wiki page [1], with specific reference to the mission statement
and objectives<br></div><div>- It was agreed that there was no need to
formalize any structure for the LOC at this stage given its embryonic
status and relatively small number of participants<br></div><div>- It
was suggested we organise some webinars over the next couple of months,
and that each month someone would give a short presentation followed by a
discussion. Ozan has agreed to organise and present the first webinar
in November. <br>- We would also take the opportunity of this meeting to discuss any matters arising related to the LOC. <br></div><div>-
We briefly discussed some ideas about meeting up either as an informal
session (presentations and/or practical workshop) or as part of another
conference or meet-up. We will pursue this topic over the next couple of
months.<br></div><div>- It was agreed that we all try to spread the
word of the Irish LOC and to use the online mailing list as the main
discussion forum [2]<br></div><br><br>[1] <a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Ireland</a><br>[2] <a href="mailto:ireland@lists.osgeo.org" target="_blank">ireland@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><br><br></div>
