> Hi,
>
> You have received this email because at some point you expressed  
> interest (or someone expressed interest on your behalf!) in a UK  
> local chapter of OSGEO. I am proud to finally announce the  
> inaugural UK OSGEO meetup: on Thursday 1st May, from 4.30 to 7pm  
> (or later if we can find a suitable hostelry) at the Radisson SAS  
> Hotel, Stansted Airport. The agenda is still open to negotiation,  
> so if you would like to come along and talk about something, or  
> demo something, then you're more than welcome. The only fixed point  
> is that we would like to come up with a roadmap for moving the UK  
> chapter forward, and hopefully provide a forum in which like-minded  
> people (eg you) can discuss FOSS GIS and the issues around it.  
> Furthermore, Tyler Mitchell will be giving a short talk on OSGEO  
> globally, and will also be available for personal discussions with  
> people or companies interested in OSGEO.
>
> There is a wiki page about the event here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/ 
> wiki/OSGeo_UK_Meetup_May_2008, please sign up if you're interested  
> so we can get some idea of numbers, and please feel free to pass on  
> this information to anyone else you know who might be interested.  
> There are links on that page to maps and hotel options if you need  
> them.
>
> I very much look forward to hopefully meeting some or all of you in  
> May!
>
> All the very best
