Just to make sure that everybody with interest knows where this is going on. Please feel free to join the discussion at: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/northamerica (currently 42 members) The corresponding Wiki page can be found at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/North_America_Regional And remember, it's a Wiki: You can hack it. If you are more generally interested in how to coordinate different Local Chapters this might be the right place to lurk and then speak up: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/local-chapters (currently 46 members) Cheers, Arnulf > I look forward to working with anyone who wants to participate and > contribute. > > Mark > > > On Nov 24, 2011, at 5:23 PM, Daniel Morissette wrote: > >> On 11-11-24 04:50 PM, Tyler Mitchell wrote: >>> >>> But to answer your question.. the aim is to run a conference, first >>> round in the USA.
