            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>

                  </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>
