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

[OSGeo-Discuss] Plans underway for MapWindow 2012 w/ OSGeo DotNet and FOSS4G-NL

[Daniel P. Ames]

Hi all,

The MapWindow and DotSpatial teams are working with some SharpMap and
others in the OSGeo DotNet world to hold a FOSS4G mini-conference in
Arnhem, The Netherlands in June 2012.

We are making progress... so far we have a date, venue, and banner... :)

(see http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2012/coming.php)

Paul Meems of TopX Consulting, Groningen, The Netherlands is leading the
effort and we are seeking anyone who would like to help us organize this
(especially you .NL people).

Please let us know!

Thanks,

- Dan

Re: RE : [OSGeo-Discuss] Distracting discussions of discussing [was:] What is North America?

[Mark Lucas]

Daniel,

There is no disagreement that it would be good to coordinate and work with 
other local chapters - that is certainly in our thinking.

To keep it simple and focused, we are not proposing any formal or implied 
hierarchy between local chapters and the region.  Everyone is free to 
contribute in the best way they see fit.

I did ping several local chapters, but I realize that wasn't comprehensive.  We 
broadcast our intentions on the discuss list, the board list, and then set up 
communications through the northamerica list documenting on the wiki.

I look forward to working with anyone who wants to participate and contribute.

Mark

I am of the opinion that the NA Chapter should have a closer 
relationship to the other local chapters in this territory, but I do not 
have the time to explain and argue those points.


I write this as an active member of the Quebec local Chapter that falls 
in this territory and personally I'm disappointed that the local 
chapters were never ping'd for their opinion or interest in being

chapter would be stronger with support from all the local chapters in 
the territory.

Hi Landon,

others are weighing in too:

Archive: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/northamerica/

But to answer your question.. the aim is to run a conference, first round in 
the USA.  Other than working alongside other chapters (and obviously inviting 
them to partner on the event) there is no proposed formal connection between 
them - except of course being under the OSGeo banner together :)

Hope that helps, see you on the other list...

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Charter nominees -- please speak up!

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi all,

I am honored to have been nominated as candidate Osgeo Charter Member. I
don't write on this list although I read it, so I thank you for inviting us
to speak up for introducing ourselves.
I am an Italian engineer, hydrologist, and I'm about to discuss my final
PhD defense in Method and Technologies for Environmental Monitoring. I
widely use GRASS GIS and other open source GIS in my research work, mostly
in hydrology field, and sometimes develop some simple tool in Python. I'm
very low level developer but I try to be useful for the community spreading
out the open source GIS in education field, helping students, giving
workshops and organizing events.
At moment I'm at the GFOSSDAY 2011, in Foggia (Italy). As GFOSS.it, the
Osgeo Italian local chapter, we organized such conference on the theme of
open source geospatial software and also we gave some free workshops.
I hope to be useful for the community in the future, and i will try anyway,
also if i'll not be voted, so never mind if you think to vote for other
candidates, I saw many names of candidates much more worthy than me to join
the Charter Members.

Thank you,
Margherita Di Leo (madi)

Hi all,

I was nominated by Helena Mitasova in this year charter member election.

Somehow it happend, that I moved from GIS usage to GIS development
during the years. I was GRASS GIS developer, where I made some
contributions to the new (current) GUI, and to some modules.

I might me more known, as the founder of PyWPS project (Python
implementation of OGC Web Processing Service) or as member of the
"Prague FOSS4G 2012" team.

Last years, I'm mostly working on the client side, using Java Script
and OpenLayers.

I'm involved in some INSPIRE activities, was member of the spatial
data services working group.

Since I'm working in small company, and since we are involved within
INSPIRE activities havy, naturally, I will bring ideas and activities
from those point of views.

Jachym
