<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>Unless someone is super keen to do
this (below), I don't mind sending back some input. For that matter, after
I put something in the wiki, you can of course edit/add.
<DIV><BR class=webkit-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I'll take bullets from the presentation y'all sent me to give in Victoria,
and add on activities since then. Off the top of my head, I can think of
the discussions re: presence at upcoming conferences, especially geotec, the
presence at both GIS Days in October, discussions with Talent First, and Open
Source Boot Camp. If you have any other ideas/contributions, let me
know.</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Happy 2008 - I hope this note finds you well.</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Recently, the OSGeo Board of Directors asked me to
help coordinate the creation of a 2007 Annual Report for OSGeo:</DIV>

<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">This will include reports from projects, committees,
chapters, etc.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>Naturally, I
cannot do this on my own and properly represent the activities of the
communities.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>To this end I'm
hoping you can help by writing (or coordinating) a report from the Local
Chapter you are part of.<SPAN class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>The
target audience for the overall report are other OSGeo members and
committees.</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">We have some time to get it together - can you help
by providing something by February 15th?<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>Creating the wiki page for your
group from the above link is all I need.<SPAN
class=Apple-converted-space> </SPAN>I've created a simple report
template to help give some direction, but I'm sure you can find some
improvements, just let me know:</DIV>

not have much to talk about, but please still provide an update explaining the
current status and anything that took place in 2007.</DIV>
