<pre wrap="">Thanks Jo and Mike for the useful round-up, and to Saber for offering to design the logo ;-)
We also talked about having a call (personal preference) or IRC chat soon to keep the momentum going, and to maybe formalise some roles, follow up on the issues below etc. Probably worth doing that in July if we can before hols kick in, and to prepare for the AGI conference in September - how about 26th as a suggestion?

What about our logo?

Dear All,
As you're no doubt aware, the 2nd OSGIS event was held at the University
of Nottingham Centre for Geospatial Sciences, and by all accounts it was a
big success.
Thanks to everyone who attended both days, or who presented. Thanks also
to everyone who attended the 2nd AGM of the UK local chapter. Finally- hi
to anyone who's new to the list.
A brief summary of the AGM:

<pre wrap="">2) We have a couple of new people looking to be more deeply involved in
the chapter- so welcome Matt Walker as our training coordinator and Mike
Saunt who's going to have a more strategic role. Along with our other
active members, we have a reasonable committee (which sounds very formal,
but isn't)- and enough structure to consider setting up as a voluntary
association. More on that in a later email.
3) We discussed the possibility of holding our own workshops, training
courses, and code sprint-type events, and a number of organisations,
including the Centre for Geospatial Sciences, have kindly offered their
premises for this.
4) We have had an offer from the Association of Geographic Information
(AGI) to hold funds for us, rather than worry about our own bank accounts.
This is something they already do for a number of other small
organisations, and would be extremely useful. I'm awaiting further
information on what would be required to set this up.
5) Ideally we would like to have some sort of sponsorship of the AGI
conference, or at the very least a meetup of the chapter. We're looking
into how best to achieve this.
6) There is growing interest in an open source implementation of INSPIRE,
from a number of different organisations, and OSGeo:UK may be a good place
to coordinate this- we'll see!
This is not an exhaustive list- but it's already a long email so I'll send
some more information out shortly- and feel free to chip in with thoughts
or comments.
I should make clear that OSGeo:UK does have a mission statement and
objectives that align closely with those of OSGeo internationally. We may
look at changing our objectives as the chapter grows, but our aim is to
provide a neutral place for both companies and individuals to become
involved in open source geospatial software. There are likely to be some
concerns about competition, particularly for small businesses, but I
sincerely hope this will be a place where profiles get raised, and bigger
opportunities come along as a result.
Hopefully the additional interest generated at this year's event will help
us move the chapter forward. I certainly hope so!
All the very best
Jo
