I think we must review how openoffice become iso standared, and microsoft that behave like esri, want new standard called msoffoce xml. He submit his docx, xlsx, etc, which he said better and more complete, but anyone adopt. For respect, i hope we can follow this model. Esri no need standard, or

Hi Landon, I think your idea of starting with a one day addition to the existing land surveyors event is great, this is a great way to introduce FOSS4G to a new community. Also don't be afraid to 'just do it', if your chapter is interested in hosting their own event, excellent! It's very very im
