<BR>
I won’t be able to attend this event.<BR>
<BR>
Out of interest, why the need for another group looking at these issues?<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps this could have been done under the OSGeo banner.<BR>

<BR>
The Melbourne Open GIS Group will hold its first gathering on 4pm this<BR>
Friday, the 11th of June, at the OpenHub, Level 2, 140 Queen Street,<BR>
Melbourne.<BR>
<BR>
The group will focus on discussing geospatial software that promotes<BR>
an 'open platform' approach to GIS. The OpenGeo Suite is kicking<BR>
major goals in this area at the moment and will receive a lot of<BR>
attention at our first meeting.<BR>
<BR>
You are invited to come and hang out with like-minded people for an<BR>
hour, participate in informal discussions, bring something to show if<BR>
you want, ask questions, and stick around afterwards for some drinks.<BR>
<BR>
All are welcome, RSVP to Simon O'Keefe <<a href="simon.okeefe@groundtruth.com.au">simon.okeefe@groundtruth.com.au</a>><BR>
<BR>
