[California] Annual Report and Annual Meeting

[Alex Mandel]

It's a loose rules from OSGeo, so no definitive boundaries. Personally I
would say at least once a calendar year works, even if it's more or less
than 12 months from the last meeting.

On that note, there's not reason we can't do 3-4 a year in various
places. I think if we follow the model CUGOS did we could attract a lot
of people who just want to learn some new cool stuff.

Thanks,
Alex
