[Aust-NZ] Re: Brisbane Location Suggested

[Jody Garnett]

 Sounds Great: 

I am going to walk over to the edge now and check it out; if that does not work out lets book the Mincom.

I would like to do something/anything *now* with whoever we can find who is interested. It would be good to talk shop - I have some presentations we can talk over (status of geotools, status of geoserver, wps-shootout). And can get my hands on a few more .... but I would also like to just talk shop and figure out what people are doing in town?

Other than I would like to set something up for mid November; perhaps before Spatial at Gov as i expect that will steal people.

I don't think we need a Brisbane group; the aust-nz email list is not really crowded so we can just organise things here?

I would be keen to find out what other open source geospatial projects are going on in Brisbane as well as get a debrief on FOSS4G (I got to the Sydney one but missed the last two). I think the last Brisbane get together was about two years ago and I found out about it too late.
