[TCMUG] March Meeting

[Fawcett, David]

Well said Perry!
 
It isn't often that we have speakers from outside of our group.  It
would be great to get a good sized audience to make it worth Reid's
time.

	Howdy folks!
	
	This be your man, Perry, reminding you all that we have this
meeting next Tuesday, March 24, 4PM at the beautiful, scenic, and
otherwise easily accessible Metropolitan Airports Commission.  That's
right, it's at the MAC!  While certain beverages cannot be served in
this venue, there is a plan to meet at Buster's pub afterwards. Buster's
is a mile or 2 down from the MAC.
	
	Here's a quick agenda:
	4:00 - Introductions
	4:05 - Steve and Perry talks about the Toronto Code Sprint
	4:15 - Reid talks about this thing called Cyclopath (No, it's
not about me.  It's about bikes/biking!)
	5:15 - Head on over to Buster's on 28th Ave. S. and 42nd St. for
a belated St. Patrick's celebration.
	
	The address for the MAC is 6040 28th Ave S., Minneapolis

&t=h&z=17&iwloc=addr> 
	
	Come out, spread the love, bring friends.  If you're a biking
enthusiast, this is a meeting you and your friends don't want to miss.
Oh, and it's going to be a fine day to talk about mapping and open
source stuff.  I mean, PostGIS? GEOS? Python? Mapnik?  C'mon!
	
	See you there!
	
	-Perry

		I have a speaker lined up for our March meeting.
		
		The meeting is at 4:00pm on Tuesday, March 24th at the
Metro Airports
		Commission Office, located at 6040 28th Avenue South in
Minneapolis.
		
		Reid Priedhorsky will be talking to us about Cyclopath
		(http://cyclopath.org/), a 'geowiki for Twin Cities
bicyclists'.  The
		site allows users to edit and maintain current
information about bicycle
		routes in the Twin Cities.
		
		The site is built on PostGIS, Mapnik, Python, GEOS,
things that you are
		all familiar with.  Reid is a computer science grad
student at the U of
		M with interests in OpenSource and Geospatial apps.
		
		I had seen mention of Cyclopath in the local media and
had also seen his
		name on the PostGIS listserv.  I thought that it would
be interesting
		for the OSGEO group to hear about how he built Cyclopath
and what he is
		working on.  I also thought that he might be interested
in meeting other
		local OpenSource GeoHackers (and cyclo-terrorists).
		
		Please try to make it so we have a good sized group for
our speaker.
		
		David.
