[Ireland] Irish OSGeo LOC - first meeting!

[Daniel McInerney]

Hi All,

Just to let you all know that we had our first skype call to establish the
Irish OSGeo Local Chapter. Below are some high level minutes from the call:

Keep in touch.

best regards,
Daniel.

Irish OSGeo Local Chapter Meeting 24.09.2015 17h00 (40 minutes)

Attendance: Daniel McInerney, Ozan Emem, Declan Dunne
Apologies: Peter Mooney, Dave Corley

- Each participant gave a short intro on their background and experience
with OSGeo software.
- It was suggested that all members should spend some time to review and
edit the wiki page [1], with specific reference to the mission statement
and objectives
-  It was agreed that there was no need to formalize any structure for the
LOC at this stage given its embryonic status and relatively small number of
participants
- It was suggested we organise some webinars over the next couple of
months, and that each month someone would give a short presentation
followed by a discussion. Ozan has agreed to organise and present the first
webinar in November.
- We would also take the opportunity of this meeting to discuss any matters
arising related to the LOC.
- We briefly discussed some ideas about meeting up either as an informal
session (presentations and/or practical workshop) or as part of another
conference or meet-up. We will pursue this topic over the next couple of
months.
- It was agreed that we all try to spread the word of the Irish LOC and to
use the online mailing list as the main discussion forum [2]
