[OSGeo-UK] RE: OSGeo:UK meeting summary -21 Sep 2010

[Scott, Antony]

Thanks Suchith, that seems to cover it.

On a different issue - are those going to the AGI booked in to the party, or would people be up for an alternative evening? Just want to check before I commit my £40...

Discussed planned dates for next year's OSGIS conference [June21-22,2011]. New ideas on parallel tracks, workshops (QGIS- Sab to lead), exhibitions etc. Working to have the call for papers released mid Oct. Hoping to have more involvement from government organisations.

Aim to work to get more casestudies in OSGIS in local government published.

Sab in process of translating a comprehensive QGIS manual (from Portuguese to English). Good work Sab.
