So I made the Georgia URISA Student day. The banner for SE OSGEO - well<br>
- ended up being just a me at a table. The tables were less than optimal<br>
for much of anything. I did hand out some OSGEO 8.5 Live DVD's....to<br>
which most of the students went "DVD's what are those?". I was able to<br>
sign up 3 or 4 students on the list and make a good effort at explaining<br>
why we needed an OSGEO group to students who only know one brand of<br>
software - not that's there's anything wrong with that - but it could<br>
be better.<br>
<br>
Right now we're up to 30 members on the list - we seem to be adding<br>
about 2 people per day.<br>
<br>
Onward and Forward,<br>

Thanks for taking the time to attend and do outreach ! I wonder if, in<br>
addition to OSGEO Live DVDs, CD/DVDs with standalone Windows versions of<br>
QGIS, GRASS, Postgresql/postgis, etc. and/or the OSGeo4W installer might<br>
be a good idea . ( Much as Windows is not my preferred platform :-)).<br>

Dear Everyone,<br>
<br>
(x-posted to OSGeo & LocationTech discussion lists, please fwd to all<br>
interested parties)<br>
<br>
As a fairly new conference, FOSS4G North America has lacked a formal<br>
selection process in terms of how to select which city/venue, who was<br>
organizing, and more. Until now...<br>
<br>
A team of concerned people from the community including many past chairs of<br>
North American FOSS4G events have collaborated to draft a proposal for how<br>
FOSS4G North America will be governed.<br>
<br>
On behalf of the team, we would like to invite you to review the draft and<br>
participate in the process. The review period will last until April 29th.<br>
After which, we will enact the process for FOSS4G NA 2016.<br>
<br>
The governance document is available publicly here<br>
<<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WlgmJgtl0LaV0EO0NtDDSnloTgsIvxu9KwddPDwX1WU/edit#" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WlgmJgtl0LaV0EO0NtDDSnloTgsIvxu9KwddPDwX1WU/edit#</a>>.<br>
Anyone can comment. All discussion takes place via. a Google group here<br>
<<a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/foss4gna_selection" target="_blank">https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/foss4gna_selection</a>>.<br>
<br>
A brief summary is as follows:<br>
<br>
The city & venue selection process will be conducted by a committee<br>
consisting of:<br>
<br>
- The 3 most recent FOSS4G NA chairs<br>
- One appointed representative from OSGeo<br>
- One appointed representative from LocationTech<br>
<br>
The committee will select the next conference location factoring their<br>
votes, plus votes from attendees & sponsors from the previous conference.<br>
The same committee will also select the organization to run the logistics<br>
for the conference. The conference chair will be elected at the previous<br>
conference by conference attendees.<br>
<br>
If you're interested, please do join the Google group to discuss and<br>
participate. Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
