I'm sorting through the Workshop/Lab evaluation
forms from FOSS4G2007, which we are going to
have scanned into PDF documents. Although these
aren't necessarily a good example, it made me
wonder if OSGeo has a plan or mechanism in place
to archive hardcopy documents? If not, is there
a need for one
It looks like FOSS4G has resulted in an increase in local interest, one of the
very real benefits to hosting this great conference. As a result, a group of
folks here in BC are looking at putting together a local chapter.
If you're in British Columbia and interested in getting involved (heck,
In terms of initial web presence Tyler suggested setting up a California page
on the OSGeo wiki, to be linked from the local chapters page at
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Local_Chapters. Also OSGeo hosts many of the
local chapter mailing lists -- see http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo.
Thanks for the feedback Allan. Physical meetings can be tough with my
schedule, but David isn't too far from Stockton. :]
If we decide to get something going, I could put up a simple website and
mailing list. Still, I don't know if two people is enough to get things
moving.
While we are talking a
At FOSS4G I was chatting a bit with Tyler Mitchell about the possibility of
starting a California chapter, so that makes at least two of us. I think
there are several other folks here at UC Davis who would be interested as
well. I am quite open to what the goals of such a group would be, though
Has there ever been any discussion of forming a California chapter of
the OSGeo? I would think with all the geo guys in the Bay Area that this
would have been done already.
I would be interested in helping out with this, although I don't know if
I want to "run and administer" things on my own.

Dave,
We try to avoid using the word "must" too often for projects!
The showcase would initially be built using some known set

Any thoughts as to why, and what could be done next time to improve the
