<p>Yes, revisiting the OSGeo Aust-NZ local chapter post FOSS4G
sounds good to me.<br>
</p>
<p>I'd suggest steps should be:</p>
<p>1. Pick one of our email list for us to hang out on.</p>
<p>2. Invite everyone to move across to that list. <br>
</p>
<p>3. Publicly state that the email list constitutes the OSGeo
Aust-NZ chapter. <br>
</p>
<p>4. We probably don't need to be any more formal than just being
represented by an email list, but we could go a step further and
claim a web page and list our membership, maybe even go as far as
defining our decision making processes.</p>
<p>5. Many local chapters have become legal entities, but I'm
against that, as it introduces a level of red tape for little
gain.<br>

<div>Perhaps, as Cameron suggests, this group has taken on the
role of the Aust-NZ local chapter, and we should be
considering taking steps to formalise this (post-conference?).
What would be involved - does anyone know the answer to this
question off the top of their head?</div>

<p>Alex, FOSS4G-Oceania committee,</p>
<p>The Aust-NZ local chapter is limited to
a mostly stagnant email list. I'd
suggest that our FOSS4G-Oceania
committee has effectively taken on the
role of the Aust-NZ local chapter, and I
reckon that anyone taking an active role
in FOSS4G-Oceania and is going to the
international FOSS4G would be a good
person to present Aust-NZ OSGeo
activities.</p>
<p>Anyone want to volunteer?<br>

It would be great to have the
Australia / New Zealand local
chapter make <br>
a brief report (2 slides) in Dar for
the AGM (please signup on the wiki <br>
page below).<br>

Dear OSGeo Local Chapters officers,<br>
<br>
the OSGeo Annual General Meeting
(AGM) is scheduled for Thursday
morning <br>
August 30 at 8:00-9:00 in Dar Es
Salaam (Tansania).<br>
<br>
As Local Chapters officers we ask
that you attend, or send a delegate
<br>
from your community. The FOSS4G
organizers have given us one hour
for <br>
the meeting, leaving us each with
around 2 mins!<br>
<br>
This update is about your community.
We are interested in how your <br>
community is doing, opportunities
and challenges ahead, and how OSGeo
<br>
can help.<br>
<br>
The shared slide deck is available
here (request edit access if
required):<br>
<br>
