Participation in OSGeo (was: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member nomination: Martin Landa)

[Frank Warmerdam]

Razy,

I am not aware of one in NYC, but I would suggest you see
if there is some social opportunity to hang out with the folks
from OpenGeo or at least ask them if there are good local
meetup opportunities in the geo space.

There is a fairly quiet group in Boston and some interested
folks in the Washington area but I don't personally know about
anyone other than OpenGeo in NYC.

The education group is definately an interesting group in
need of helpful people.

Best regards,
Frank
