Hi David,
You might want to reach out directly to some of the people from the
OSGeo Advocate List who live nearby.
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Advocates_Map
Others, if you are not on this list, but would like to be, feel free to
sign yourself up:
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate#Process_for_becoming_an_OSGeo_Advocate
If you are introducing a new community to OSGeo, you might want to have
a speaker (maybe yourself), give a variant on the OSGeo-Live presentation:

Warm regards, Cameron

For those folks in the Upper Midwest, there's a great conference
coming up May 25-26 in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. It's an event that is
being put together by the Statewide GIS organizations in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, and Iowa along with the non-profits ASPRS, GITA, and
SharedGeo.
This event offers a great opportunity for presenters and sponsors to
reach out to folks who do not normally see much of what is happening
in OSGeo and the broader Open Source communities. The event planning
committee has shown a keen interest in trying to bring in folks from
the Open Source community as part of the program.
Coming so soon after FOSS4G North America in Raleigh, NC at the
beginning of May, this would be a great opportunity for those already
pulling together a presentation to get double-duty out of all of their
work. It would also be a great opportunity for those in the region who
may find it hard to travel to FOSS4GNA to get together!
Lacrosse in May should be a gorgeous time to come spend some time in
the Mississippi River Bluffs! I hope to see some of you there.
The call for presentations closes NEXT WEEK January 18th along with
Early Bird vendor and Sponsor registration.
