[California] FW: [Geowanking] seeking academic hosts for "GIS101 for NPOs"

[Landon Blake]

Alex,

I apologize for my delayed response. I don't have a lot of details on
the conferences that Map Together is trying to find hosts for. The
e-mail came to me on a GIS related mailing list, and I thought you guys
might be interested.

I'm sorry I can't provide more details. Hopefully Jim will get in touch
with you.

There's a very good chance, I'll forward it on. Alan at UCSB might also
be interested and I could pass it on to some contacts at Cal states that
I know (Northridge, Stanislaus).

Could you give some more details on when, and some more specifics about
who you are and past events?

This might coincide well with GIS Day in November too.

Thanks,
Alex
