[mapserver-users] [REMINDER] OSGeo Twin Cities (aka TCMUG) Local Chapter Meeting - Nov 10th

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

Last month’s meeting, from Damon Nelton on the MN EPC Underground Utilities Mapping Project Team ( UUMPT<https://dp-pro.com/minnesota-underground-utilities-mapping-project-team/> ) sparked a lot of thought and questions, and It worked very well as a rehearsal for the Mn GIS/LIS.  Those presentations should be posted any day now, and I’ll get a link out to you all when it’s available.  As always, last month’s presentation has been posted, along with all the previous ones, at the link at the bottom of this page.

This month will be a follow-on presentation by Steve Swazee, a coordinating member of the UUMP team.

Title: Begging for Your Assistance to Help Save Lives

Stephen Swazee Sr.

Steve is a retired Navy Captain and former Delta Air Lines 747 pilot who chairs the Emergency Preparedness Committee of the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council (MGAC).  In 2008, he was one of the founding members of the Twin Cities based geospatial research and development nonprofit SharedGeo, and for the past 13 years has served as its volunteer Executive Director. He also serves on the Public X Y Mapping Project Board of Directors and was previously a member of the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council, the Geospatial Information and Technology Association (GITA) Board of Directors, and for six years was GITA’s Administrative Director.

Based on more than three years of discussions with the Minnesota underground utilities sector, in 2020, Steve was instrumental in the formation of the nation’s first effort to work on creating a comprehensive, accurate, visualization of all buried infrastructure in a state.  Known as the Minnesota Underground Utilities Mapping Project Team, this ground-breaking, multi-year project has now reached a point where it desperately needs the assistance of the open source community to solve one of the world’s most vexing geospatial problems.  In what will be a dynamic, back-and-forth discussion you won’t want to miss, come find out why Steve is down on his knees, begging for your assistance.
