and funding needs for these events.

-          Discussed storage of booth materials and supplies. Alex
Mandel will store the booth material and supplies at UC Davis and will
ship to other locations in California as needed. 

-          Discussed method of handling chapter donations. Landon will
serve as treasurer for the chapter's first year. Donations will be sent
to his mailing address and forwarded to the OSGeo in $500 increments.
This will allow donations to be tax deductible.

 

I would also like to thank Alex Mandel and the other people at UC Davis
for setting up the meeting and for their willingness to host it. There
hospitality is appreciated very much.
