I support Jo Cook as the official representative of<br>the chapter. We can plan to have the AGM at the First Open Source GIS UK<br>Conference at Centre for Geospatial Science, University of Nottingham on<br>22 June 2009. This will be a good opportunity for arranging a meeting as<br>many of OSGeo community will be here for the conference including Tyler.<br>I am happy to make arrangements for meeting room, audio-visual<br>facilities etc as needed for the AGM.<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Suchith<br><br><br>Dr Suchith Anand<br>Centre for Geospatial Science<br>Sir Clive Granger Building<br>University of Nottingham<br>Tel:

This follows on from some very successful conferences and<br>training workshops, and of course planning for next years conference in<br>conjunction with the University of Nottingham.<br><br>The attached pdf includes the chapter guidelines from the OSGeo website,<br>and at the bottom, my first attempt at the terms of reference for the UK<br>chapter.<br><br>There are a couple of things I would specifically like comment on. The<br>first is
the name of the chapter. There is a likelihood that a Scottish<br>chapter will be set up, but I would like to retain the name "UK" to<br>avoid confusion with "English" as a linguistic grouping, and to<br>ensure<br>that Welsh and Irish colleagues don't feel excluded.<br><br>Furthermore, there is a requirement that we name an official<br>representative of the chapter, who becomes an officer of OSGeo once the<br>chapter is officially recognised. I have put my name down in the first<br>instance, but if anyone objects, or particularly feels that this should<br>be put to the vote, then do say, either on or off-list. I envisage<br>putting this to the vote every year or so anyway once the chapter is<br>officially formed.<br><br>I'd be grateful for feedback fairly soon about this, so I can make any<br>changes and make the official request to OSGeo within the next couple of<br>weeks.<br><br>Thanks
