[California] RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Los Angeles

[Landon Blake]

David,

 

Sorry for the delayed response. 

 

I believe we have a few lurkers in the Southern California area, but not
anyone really active that I can think of. I do remember someone from
Southern California that listened into one of our meetings. (His first
name was Joe?) Most of the activity in our chapter is coming out of the
UC Davis Campus. Alex Mandel is taking the lead there. We've also got
someone from the Sacramento area that works at the California Geological
Survey, if I am not mistaken.

 

Brian Hamlin is also quite active, and I believe he hangs his hat in the
Bay Area. I'm in the Central Valley.

 

The size of our state is a challenge to organizing OSGeo activities.
We've talked about organizing smaller regional chapters in the state,
but I don't think we have the support for that yet. Personally, I would
like us to think about how we can draw more OSGeo enthusiasts from
California together via online means. Alex has focused a lot on getting
an OSGeo presence at California conferences, which is great, but I'm
personally interested in seeing what we can do as a group on the
software front. Our chapter is home to Silicon Valley, after all. :]

 

I've been meaning to bring this up, but haven't had the time to put
together an intelligent e-mail. I will try to make time to do so this
week.

I'm looking to meet up with fellow Los Angeles based osgeo people.    I
put a call out in the California chapter email list but did not get a
response.    Perhaps you all are lurking here on the main list?   I work
in downtown LA.    Let me know where you at!
