[California] Wiki Page for the 2015 Annual Meeting

Wed Jan 6 10:39:52 PST 2016

I’m missing this one too (I already have plans to be out of the area on the 23rd). :-(  I’m open almost every weekend in January EXCEPT for that one.  Someone please let me know how it goes.  We need to set one up in the summer when Davis is quiet and we can go outside.

I’d like to add an idea that might be kicked off at the meeting:
Compile a list of OSGeo Software/Tools that members use and how they rate the software/tools.

I thought that might be a good kernel to get some discussion going and get something to come out of the meeting.

All the best,
Mateo

I put Jeffrey's suggestion on our list of topics on the wiki.  More discussion items:

1.  Would anyone be able to give an overview of software talk?  It could be rather informal.  The room has whiteboards as well as projectors.  I sent the announcement to the state GIS folks and about half of the the people who have registered are from state agencies right now.  It might be our chance to open the door to open source at the state level (which they are supposed to be doing anyway...)

2. Landon asked about snacks to go with coffee.  Any ideas?  Could anyone bring stuff to share?  Muffins, bagels, fruit, etc. seem to be standard fare.  I might be able to bring cookies for later in the day.
