Subject: [Ottawa_users] Minutes of the meeting, Apr 25th<br>
<br>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>
<div>Dear fellow members of<span><em> </em>the Ottawa
Chapter of OSGeo, <br>
<br>
</span></div>
<span>Given the number of information and topics that
were brought to the table on April 25th, I thought it
would make sense to share the minutes of the meeting.<br>
<br>
</span></div>
<span><u><b>Talks about Open Data Initiative :</b></u><br>
</span>
<div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span></span><span>The role of GIS experts in
the Open Data Initiative and the usability of
Open Data.How to provide developers with data
that really empower citizens through quality and
usability. </span></li>
<li><span></span>I would like to see if I can get us
to connect at least once with the open data Ottawa
since my experience during Toronto Hackathon
pointed out a real need for spatial data. Out of
30 presented apps, between 5 and 10 were using
geospatial information.</li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
<u><b>The </b></u><span><u><b>Ottawa Chapter of OSGeo
would like to take part in two events :</b></u><br>
</span><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Software Freedom Day in September 2013. <br>
</span></li>
<li><span>GIS Day in November 2013</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>It means that we need two things :<br>
<ul>
<li>A place for those two event</li>
<li>Volunteers that would be up for a presentation.
Up until know, we have 4 people up for that. (I
messed up with my notes, so please feel free to
modify that as you want.<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Javed : Optics</li>
<li>Regie : Balloon mapping</li>
<li>Richard : Open Street Map</li>
<li>Me : PostGIS 2.0 <br>
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
<div>Other volunteers are welcomed. Regarding the
venues, we mentioned a couple of options that I will
explore during this month. <br>
<ul>
<li>
Carleton University</li>
<li>Ottawa University</li>
<li>Find a place in collaboration with the Eclipse
Foundation</li>
</ul>
If anyone can help to make those events happen, I
would love to hear from you. More updates next month
:).<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
