<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings, fellow map geeks!<br>
<br>
I have created the OSGeo twin cities chapter annual report and would like to
share it with you all. Feel free to edit and make changes if you'd like
as I don't think Tyler has compiled it with the rest of the annual reports.
Here's the link: <a
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Twin_Cities_Chapter_Report_2009">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Twin_Cities_Chapter_Report_2009</a><br>
You'll need to have an OSGeo account to edit this thing or you can just tell me
what changes you'd like to make.<br>
<br>
As for the summary of our meeting... This was supposed to be an informal social
event but Steve Lime and I added a couple of topics to discuss--annual report
and participation with MN GIS/LIS, particularly with Paul Ramsey being a
keynote speaker at MN GIS/LIS this year. To that end, we managed to be
really productive as you can tell from the annual report. Please follow the
link above to see what we talked about (in the last two sections). We also
talked about being more actively involved and having a "more visible"
presence at the GIS/LIS conference in support of Paul Ramsey and to promote our
group better. Some of the ideas discussed include:<br>
<br>
1. having a booth at conference--and Kari will relay that information to the
conference committee but we need to find some sponsors to help cover the cost
of the booth<br>
2. having a birds of a feather (of course!)<br>
3. having a dedicated open source GIS session<br>
4. having a demofest (installfest)--this we can also, and should, do in one of
our meetings.<br>
5. taking Paul on a tour of the north shore (not just the brew pubs)<br>
<br>
While we were talking about being more inclusive this year, a suggestion came
up that maybe we should change our name to be more inclusive. Some asked
why not just promote ourselves as OSGeo-TC... this is something that we all
need to discuss at some point.<br>
<br>
Oh, I have one number to share with you all; something we can build on: 67.
That's the number of subscribers in our mailing list in 2009 and I'm pretty
sure there are a few duplicates there. Let's see if we can increase that
number at the end of this year.<br>
<br>
I'll leave this at that and we can start talking amongst ourselves. :)<br>
<br>
-Perry<br>

PS: March meeting anyone? Topic? Guest speakers?<o:p></o:p></p>
