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!</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">All of your initial thoughts are correct Phil, follow MPG's advice and<br>
get something going: informal, wiki page (copy another chapter's<br>
structure), and mailing list (file a ticket on Trac), and start meeting<br>
once a month after work.<br>
<br>
I do see formal Chapters in OSGeo (I notice the Japan chapter just had a<br>
call for renewing their paid memberships), but it is really up to you<br>
and your local community, how formal you want to get.<br>
<br>
Most important: get together and share and have fun! :)<br>
