[California] NACIS Talk in Oct

Thu Oct 8 15:20:28 EDT 2009

Blake,

Thanks for the update.  I wish I could have made it out there.  Recently I was talking with my boss again about possibly having a meeting about foss4g here at CGS.  He has seen the results of our foss4g pilot and that has encouraged to that possibility of such a meeting.  So, if the California OSGEO wants to have a receptive audience, we are ready to listen.
