I've had an ever growing number of ArcGIS users asking about QGIS in
the SE TN/NE Georgia Area - So I figured I'd give this a shot. Most
seem to have it installed but are a bit lost (BUT - we do have some
using it for day to day GIS work). So I think this might be a good
way to spread the word and at least get them functional and not
scared of asking questions on the User list. <br>
<br>
Thanks for reminding me of the books and Community Health - so I'll
throw that in also to show what is happening. Actually - that
reminds me of the Carto book that also came out. <br>
<br>
I'll try to fire off an update post meeting with attendance and
plans for moving this forward. <br>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> There will be a QGIS
users group meeting in Chattanooga TN June 20th from 3:30
to 7:00 EST at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
UTC has kindly donated their GIS Lab. <br>
<br>
Address: <br>
<div dir="ltr">701 East ML King BLVD<br>
Chattanooga TN <br>
<br>
I've had several people ask for an informal "Learn about
QGIS session". So we're covering a few subjects in
detail about QGIS - which should lead to more questions
and more talk. There will also be an informal discussion
about continuing this going forward in some shape or
form. For this meetup some knowledge of GIS would be
good as we don't have a lot of time to go "This is a
vector". There are no snacks/food provided - BUT - we
plan on ending this at one of the fine breweries around
the area. <br>
<br>
Agenda: <br>
<ul>
<li>QGIS Community</li>
<li>How to install QGIS </li>
<li>Data Formats </li>
<li>Data Display </li>
<li>Making a Map </li>
</ul>
<br>
<br>
So email me for more information. If you are close
please make plans to attend. It should be fun. <br>
