[California] Planning for Exhibits, help needed

[Landon Blake]

Joe,

 

I think the size of our state will necessitate sub-chapters in some
form. Why not describe the idea for your sub-chapter on the wiki? I
would include a proposed sub-chapter area (likely based on counties) and
ideas for any local issues that would be tackled by the sub-chapter.
Perhaps you would also share suggestions for our sub-chapters might
operate within the framework of a larger chapter?

" I'm not sure if there's a particular need for a sub chapter in order

I was thinking about a Central Coast sub chapter in general terms - not
necessarily just for the CGS. I also find it hard to believe nobody from
UCSB has gotten involved yet - myself, I'm a Cal Poly SLO alum & in
other efforts am trying to get the Mustangs involved. 

" In terms of other contributions, we generally are trying to raise

Regarding sponsorship + potential membership .. I am meeting more & more
GIS folks in Santa Barbara and I've recently met the folks at CIRGIS
http://cirgis.org/ . Members of CIRGIS did mention interest in
sponsorship opportunities at the last meeting Jan 8th 2009 - I will
consider mentioning OSGeo sponsorship at the next meeting March 5.

" Feel free to start a list on the wiki page and if you know some folks
get them to join the list so we can at least discuss topics. "

Sounds good, will do * joe

there are any other ways to contribute to the Cal OSGeo Chapter, besides
this

push for the AGS/CGS - I imagine some sort of
 'todo list' would be

posted on the wiki http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/California ?

would be

appropriate to suggest a Central Coast Sub-Chapter for the California
OSGeo

Chapter. This chapter could potentially range from Monterrey (or San
Luis

Obispo) to Santa Barbara / Ventura - may be a bit large I realize.

I'm not sure if there's a particular need for a sub chapter in order to

handle the conference. Once again the Davis crew will be traveling to

that conference already for academic reasons. We encourage more local

members to participate with us.

  

In terms
 of other contributions, we generally are trying to raise funds

for the exhibition pack, and organize some meetings in various locals.

Other ideas, suggest other venues for outreach, or projects (coding,

documenting, teaching) that people might want to collaborate on.

  

Feel free to start a list on the wiki page and if you know some folks

get them to join the list so we can at least discuss topics. I find it

hard to believe no one at UCSB has gotten involved yet.

  

Alex
