[mapserver-users] Meeting

[Ed McNierney]

Tom -

I think it would be a great idea.  This is a very active, helpful
community and it would be very valuable for us to get together.  I
especially think the value of "show and tell" with discussion on how
we're all attacking various problems with MapServer would be worth the
trip.  Doing it in Minnesota is fine (but not in January <g>).

Thanks to you (nearly 400 list subscribers) MapServer has to be 
considered a success. Some of us at "home base" feel that we may 
have reached a time where a MapServer Users Meeting would be 
appropriate. We'd like your input on that. In particular:

1. Would you come? Are there important conditions, over which we 
have some control, that would determine whether you'd 
participate?

2. Would you prefer a meeting/workshop at the University of 
Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus (I remember those fine "gopher 
server" meetings) or something done in conjunction with a related 
conference? The former is easier to plan and could be pulled off 
with much less lead time, the latter might be easier for people 
to justify travel to.

That's all we want to know at the moment. If there seems to be 
interest, we will move forward with your help. You may respond to 
the group (please keep "Meeting" in the subject) or directly to 
me.

Thanks,
Tom
