[OSGeo-UK] Local chapter gets twitter account

[Mike Saunt]

Hi All,

I thought I'd provide back a quick summary back from our meeting 
Wednesday.  Main topics covered:

    *

      Marketing

          o

            Banners have been designed, still waiting for feedback from
            OSGeo marketing committee regarding font etc for banners

          o

            Need to start punching above our weight with regards that OS
            software is accepted as alternative to Proprietary. We need
            the examples of how it is already being used in the various
            markets.

    *

      Case Studies - *(Anthony Scott to lead)*

         1.

            Astun via William Allbrook to help build a template for the
            case studies for Anthony Scott

         2.

            Focus on business problems solved as opposed just about
            technology

         3.

            Can we use the Welsh Assembly example?

    *

      Events - possibly 5 events to attend this year* (need someone to
      coordinate)*

          o

            Ordnance Survey Emergency Services / Local Government Events

          o

            AGI 2011

          o

            OSGIS 2011

          o

            GISRUK

          o

            WhereCamp EU

    *

      Development and R&D

          o

            *University of Nottingham to continue to help on this front*

          o

            Astun, by the end of 2010, will offer a download of OS
            OpenData formatted in in PostGIS , possibly with MapServer /
            GeoServer styling definitions provided with the goal of
            people having a way to start using OS OpenData very quickly.
            (May need help/thoughts from others on training material to
            be written in early 2011)


      Also, I hope you'll all be glad to know that in my fund-raising
      role (at the Bar) for OSGeo:UK/ I've managed to secure £500
      sponsorship from 1Spatial/ and also a possible commitment of one
      of their guys to help us drive things forward. Jo, how do we get
      this done? Does OSGeo:UK invoice 1Spatial?


Thanks
Mike
