[Aust-NZ] Perth groups?

[Chris Tweedie]

Hey John,

No official osgeo meetups in Perth. There had been talk of a
georabble.orgtype event but not sure if anyone's put their hand up to
organise one.

SSSI WA sometimes hold social events, but i have no idea whats currently
scheduled (see spatialsciences.org.au). There is a vast community of guys
across the industry here so feel free to ping me via email or twitter when
you touch down. Beers can always be had and I'm sure we'd get a few guys
along to whatever is organised
