[OSGeo-Discuss] Local Chapter Guidance

[Phil Nugent]

Thanks for the feedback Jeff.  Like I told MPG, there seem to be alot of
people here interested in areas that align with OSGeo's mission and beyond
and it would just be nice to have informal meetings offline and aside from
work, so that's how I'll approach it.  Thanks again for your input!
