[OSGeo BC] Northern BC GIS Users Group

[Will Cadell]

Hello all!

I am very happy to tell you about the next meeting of the Northern BC  
GIS user group will be on June 2nd. That is the evening before the  
ESRI conference.

when: June 2nd, 5pm
where: UNBC, rm 7-212

This one is going to be a doozy!

We are planning to meet at 5:00 pm for a bite to eat, up at UNBC  
(provided by a sponsor), closely followed at 5:30 pm by a panel  
discussion on Open Source technology in GIS with:

Tyler Mitchell: 	Executive Director, Open Source Geospatial Foundation
Chris North: 		Director of Technology, ESRI Canada
Steve Botham: 	Manager of IT, Regional District Fraser - Fort George

... as our esteemed panel! This is the first time that OSGeo and ESRI  
have been at the same table for a discussion like this, and we are  
very lucky that it will happen up here in sunny Prince George. Our  
own Steve Botham from the Regional District will be giving the local  
& user perspective. If that isn't enough, we'll have a few door  
prizes to give away. Hopefully, we'll get everyone's excitement level  
up for the ESRI conference on the 3rd.

I really hope you all can join us. We have scheduled it so as little  
time as possible will be spent away from work, additionally the event  
will be completely free.

Tell as many people as you can about this! It will be great to have a  
nice big audience with lots of questions, keen to participate.

Attached is a pdf with the details, if you can print it out and stick  
it up in your workplace we would really appreciate it!

Look forward to seeing you on the 2nd,

NBCGISUG
