Thanks David,<br><br>Thanks for posting, some really great stuff. I am very interested to head down this road and would like to work together to get something going. I'm certain others would join along in this.<br><br>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">I can help advise on creating QGIS plugins. I created a GeoRSS
and CSW plugin a couple of years back and demo'd for local OSGEO
group. They are probably broken now requiring version
upgrades. By no means am I a pro but I went through the hard
knocks.</font></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial"></font></span> </div>
<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">The plugins were both done in python (2.x) and using QT
library. As I am now using python 3.x for all new python projects (where
possible) I wonder if QGIS can use python 3 now, it has been a
while</font></span></div>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">Apologies for not getting to this sooner. I have
been quite busy with my new project work. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">I want to first thank all those that attended. We
had a great turn out and hope to see many more people next time:) </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">Just want to give a quick overview (if I've
forgotten anything please add to the list) for the folks who could not attend of
what was discussed, covered and bantered around the table: </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- Some pictures courtesy of Andrew's very slick
Android phone will be hitting the wiki page in the near future. Would like to
get some newer media up there. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- On Andrews phone, he mentioned an incredible
multi-day battery life, installed upgraded battery. Would like to know were he
got this from. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- I gave a half-successful overview of my initial
forays into using PostGIS raster and some R raster modules for
visualization.Live demos always seem to never work.<br></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- Questions raised about the FOSS4G-NA (North
American) conference. Which we know is April 10 to 12 in Washington DC. <a href="http://foss4g-na.org/about/" target="_blank">http://foss4g-na.org/about/</a>. There is
only ~300 spots open. Sign up and hope to see you there!</p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- Scott offered use of his GIS lab, which is
great. Thanks!. So hopefully down the road we can make use of that facility for
some hands on stuff. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- There was interest in getting some intro walk
throughs around the QGIS application & a bit more advanced usage in building
a Python plugin. Would anyone be interested in a short ~2-3hr intro and/or an
intro to build a simple plugin? If so let me know and we can pursue further with
the list. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- I put forth the idea of looking into changing
the current meet up venue (Fox & Feather) & putting it to the group to
decide. Scott was saying this has been looked into in the past and the feedback
from the group was that the venue is not that bad. Through it would be nice to
have WiFi. I have not had time to look into this at moment due to a recent
family injury. I will keep you posted on this. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">- I put the idea out of a monthly weekend coffee
get together to drop by and talk geo. I hope to announce the first one next
month. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">If I have forgotten or missed anything, please add
it to the list. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">Have a great night folks. </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in">Cheers, </p>
<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:0in"></p>
