Welcome aboard.  Indeed we started the list so that various projects 
that had GPS tie-ins could meet up under a single umbrella.

On that note, I want to invite everyone to come to our annual Free and 
Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) event in Barcelona this 
September.  Expected to hit 1000+ attendees this year.

We usually have a few hours of breakout groups and GPS topics would be 
quite welcome.  I'd love to hear if anyone else on the list will be 
attending.  I could also coordinate a separate meeting place/time if 
that we important to others.  Unfortunately our call for presentations 
closed last week, I meant to urge folks here to send in abstracts. :(

GPSD history and it's future, as well as other apps, would have been 
certainly interesting to our attendees.
