[Aust-NZ] Re: FW: Qld/Brisbane Chapter of OsGeo ?

[Shaun Kolomeitz]

Our intention is to meet up with people who like to share information at
a technical level about OsGeo stuff (like the Linux groups do).
I guess we would see what's on offer (brief presentations/overviews)
have a few beers, grab a pizza and have a chat. Bruce, if you'd like to
provide some of the focus areas I'm happy to share.

Is there any Brisbane/regional people who'd like to be involved in
catching up ?

Regards,
Shaun

Hi Bruce

I don't think having regional groups is in anyway diluted talent.
This may be my own thinking, but I feel that a regional group is where
the value is.
Unless you have local people you can call on and meet with, it may as
well be a global group.
I.e. the value of Aust-NZ is to help facilitate two things:
* Conferences - well done
* Local meets / talent.

Think global, act local :-)

That does not however stop you working together across australia too,
just my opinion of the value of local groups.

Hi Shaun,

Lets not dilute the talent that we've got at this stage.

I think that we'll be more effective as a focussed group.

That doesn't mean that we can't have regional get togethers as per the
Melbourne meet.
