<DIV>I would be in to that topic. Would also like to encourage them to give presentations at the GIS/LIS conference this fall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am able to attend meetings more easily if they are scheduled for after 4 pm. Just my 2 cents.</DIV>

I can certainly talk informally about our<BR>experience thus far. I'd still like to get Paul Morin from the AGIC project at the UMN over to talk to the<BR>group. Paul would be person to speak about the need that we hope GeoNetwork can fill. Turns out<BR>that there is another local project (also based at the UMN) also using GeoNetwork (in Africa) so perhaps<BR>I could look into a more substantial presentation from both groups at the meeting after next. Plus, the<BR>AGIC project should have something to actually demo by then.<BR><BR>I do think it would be an interesting topic. There are probably some misconceptions about what <BR>GeoNetwork is or isn't and what it can do out of the box.<BR><BR>Steve<BR><BR>>>> On 5/5/2008 at 11:15 AM, in message<BR><B90E61958C36F147854404660C52B679F80A3C9724@EXCHMB1.mc.local>, "Slaats, Alison"<BR><alison.slaats@metc.state.mn.us> wrote:<BR>> Hello,<BR>> <BR>> I'm new to this local os list, but I am interested in learning more about <BR>> GeoNetwork opensource as a catalog/clearinghouse tool.<BR>> <BR>> I work at the Met Council and am responsible for the DataFinder site <BR>> (www.datafinder.org).
