Dear Colleague,

If you are interested in Open Source GIS software and live in the 
Calgary area - this might be of interest for you.

We have now closed the poll 
(http://www.doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=5c4hn45w98mcga3g) and 
have set a date for our first meeting. The goal is to form a Free and 
Open Source GIS interest group.

When?
*  Thursday *29th April 2010* (so, this week!)
*  from 6pm; at max until 8pm

Where?
*  Main campus of the University of Calgary, Science B Room 105
* for a map, see: http://www.ucalgary.ca/map/node/131 - and select "SB - 
Science B" from the building dropdown and type "105" for the room 
number, or as image http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/File:CampusUofC.png
* you can take the C-Train Line to the North-West, and exit at 
University Station (which is east of the campus)

Possible Agenda:
i  - What is the OSGeo?
ii  - Get to know each other.
iii - Define a purpose for the group.
iv - Pizza? Beer?

For point (iii) it would be helpful if you could think about the 
following questions:
- Why are you coming?
- What would you expect from such a group?
- What do you not want the group to be?
- What is your experience with free and open source GIS?

best regards,
Stefan and Andrew
