Instead of despairing or

ranging from meeting in a pub to full fledged conferences with 500+

- The
Gobal Meeting of the Tribes" but complement this event, either
regionally,
language-wise or by tastes of beer. The simple magic that gets you
going
is to connect with your peers and then DIY. If you think that OSGeo
can
help - ask for it.
I agree, and for those who might not be aware, this is similar to
what is happening already. In areas where local chapters are not
running, it must still feel a bit lonely - hopefully this list can
help that. But in other places where the chapters are active, they
are charging ahead preparing great local events. There are so many
things happening that it's hard to keep up with all the activity :)
Hope that's encouraging,
Tyler
