<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>I’ve
been invited to give a presentation on OSGeo at the local GIS user group and my
company has agreed to cover my time out of the office. (They even offered to
sponsor the refreshments for the meeting.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>I was
hoping some other OSGeo members have done similar presentations. If anyone has
material on the basics of the OSGeo (the organizations history, its goals, its
structure) they would let me use in my own presentation I would really
appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>The
presentation will be on October 23, 2008 in Jackson, California, if any nearby
OSGeo members are interested in attending. (I’d welcome help with the
presentation.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>I’m
hoping I can use the presentation to generate some more interest in OSGeo among
local GIS users. I might also try to use it to kick-start a California or Central
California OSGeo Chapter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif"'>The
best part of this whole deal is the user group used to be dedicated to ESRI
software. ESRI stopped sponsoring the local user groups so now they can have a
wider variety of speakers. I’ve often wondered who in ESRI’s marketing
department made the decision to kill support for the local user groups…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
