Hello DNR,

Actually, I was at noisebridge last night for the EFF talk. I also have been
attending the iPhone dev meetup there. :) I have been lurking around the
spacebridge mailing list for awhile, and I was going to send a message there
about the meetup today.

I spoke to Josh yesterday about the BAUGOS meetings (I have attended most
-if not all - of them). Since I was shooting for a more general crowd (not
just open source gis), I thought it was a good idea to start this general
'geo' group. I hope you join it and thanks for the info anyway.
