Hey,
I just read Auke's answer to my post from a few days back regarding 
shifting mailing list and domains around.

This probably means that now I have no more excuse for not doing things 
by myself. :-) Do you have suggestions on how to tackle the Local 
Chapter issue? If you have not looked into it you may want to read the 
Wiki pages here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Local_Chapters
The content needs to be worked over and VisCom is busy doing other 
things. But we need (at least should) get this adopted by the board the 
sooner the better and then we will have to put the information somewhere.

There is more to think about on the corresponding discussion page and 
some ideas at how the guidelines to a local chapter might look like. 
Later on we would probably want to have each local chapter digitize 
their location as points of the members or regional outreach and show it 
in a map. That would be fun because we can make good use of the OSGeo 
SDI stack that currently is growing at telascience (all still only 
guesswork). Yes, and I said later...

Can you please explain what a SOP is? Me German, nix versteh?

I am at the AGIT Expo 2006 next week but I think that I can make it.

I added the meeting to the WebCom Wiki page at the same time as 
specified in the Wiki calendar. Can you please check whether time and 
date are fine like this:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/WebCom_Meeting_20060703

If you look at the agenda of the last meeting some things might still be 
open:

And it says that Jody Garnett wanted to do something. Hello Jody, still in?

:-)

If I am pressing on too much or you have any other issues please let me 
know.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
