[California] Fwd: Nevada Geographic Information Society 25th Annual Meeting, October 2015, Lake Tahoe

[Michele Tobias]

Hi California OSGeo people!
It was good to see so many of you in Burlingame!  I met Eric (see below) 
at the OSGeo booth at the conference.  He wants OSGeo to have a presence 
at the Nevada Geographical Society conference.  I'm not sure if this is 
something we should handle as (possibly) the nearest chapter, or if we 
should let the bigger org know.  Thoughts, comments, ideas?

Michele

Hi,

We just met each other at FOSS4GNA in Burnlingame.

I am one of the board members of the Nevada Geographic Information 
Society (www.ngis.org <http://www.ngis.org>). Our 2015 meeting, at Lake 
Tahoe the week of October 12, 2015 will be our TWENTY-FIFTH annual meeting.

So, we've been at this a while. Our members have seen the world of GIS 
go from an obscure priesthood to a mainstream part of the modern world; 
from worrying about actual clouds on our 6250bpi streaming tape reels of 
LANDSAT data to spatial data in virtual clouds.

Of course, we would like the 25th meeting to be something special (aside 
from being at Lake Tahoe, of course). Open source and the support 
network around it are (to my mind) one of the biggest and best new 
things in the geospatial work environment in decades.

We (the NGIS Board) would very much welcome your organization's presence 
at our annual meeting (calendar announcement: 
http://www.ngis.org/event-1871390). As vendors, as presenters, as 
workshop-givers. In short, helping to sponsor the meeting and/or make it 
a fantastic event for the attendees.

(Just to be clear -- we'd welcome you, personally, as well as your 
organization!)

Our Vice President, Eric Schmidt, is serving as the Conference Chair. I 
have cc'd him on this email, but you can reply to both of us.

I understand you might be passing this on to someone else in your 
organization. Thanks for doing so, as appropriate.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to 
hearing that you'll be there!

Yours,

- Eric
