[TCMUG] MN GIS/LIS

[David William Bitner]

Oops, just noticed I sent to the old umn address for TCMUG.

Another idea I just had -- it might be cool to collect screenshots of apps
that folks here have built using FOSS tools and build a slide deck to put
on a loop on the monitor when not being used to demo things. Would anyone
volunteer to collect and put together something like that?
