[Board] Twin Cities Local Chapter

[David William Bitner]

OSGeo Board Members,

The Twin Cities MapServer Users Group would like to request your support in
our bid to become an Official OSGeo Local Chapter.

The Twin Cities MapServer Users Group was formed alongside the organizing
committee for MUM3/OSG
'05<http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/community/conferences/MUM3/>in the
Fall of 2004. TCMUG has met near monthly since that time with a mix
of social gatherings and technical presentations hosted at various locations
around the Twin Cities, MN Metropolitan Area. TCMUG is made up of people
representing government, non-profit, academic, and private interests.
Members of TCMUG are active in several areas within OSGeo. In addition,
TCMUG has a strong presence in state and regional GIS initiatives through
MetroGIS <http://metrogis.org/>, the Governor's Council on Geographic
Information <http://www.gis.state.mn.us/>, and Minnesota GIS/LIS
Consortium<http://www.mngislis.org/>as well as work with FGDC grant
funded projects
[2] <http://openmnnd.org/>. Members of TCMUG are active users and developers
and have been a forum in the region for not just MapServer, but also many
other Open Source GIS packages.

Further information about our group  can be found on our OSGeo Wiki
page at http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Twin_Cities


If you have any questions for our group, I would be happy to bring them to
our groups mailing list and bring back any responses to you.

Thank you for your consideration,

David Bitner
