This was an interesting resource passed around our offices I thought the
OSGEO community might appreciate.
Thanks Peter,

There is also a small community of FOSS advocates growing using the Government
of Canada's social networking tool GCconnex (currently a pilot)
If you are a federal employee in Canada check out the FOSS4GOC group and also
tag your profile with OSGEO so we can find who is using FOSS and FOSS4G

I know their are some groups working on this

Hey Folks,
I have recently used the OWSLIB library
(http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/OwsLib) for some python based
plugins in QGIS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/qgiscommunitypl/). I am

For those OSGEO folks heading to Geoweb in Vancouver, this pre-conference
technical meeting may be of interest.
See contact info within, as this event is separate from the actual Geoweb
Conference.
Pardon the delayed post.

Ahh.. Metadata
I am learning about Qgis plugins lately and thought I would extend out
to the OSGEO community at large. As I am going through creating some
plugins and learning about OWS services and trying my hand at a
catalogue plugin for QGIS I got to thinking, what does the open source
world do

Well, GDAL is close to the FOSS4G community so why not start with this
and see where we can go? I think OSGEO even has some capable expertise

Hey Folks,
Two things.
1. I am looking for people interested in developing existing open source
software for use in Search and Rescue. Specifically interested in
mapping, but personnel management is definitely a part of that.

The best reception I ever got about open source in government was by saving a
project (in the gov) a measureable amount of money (enough to have someone take
a risk on saving money anyhow) and by drasticaly increasing productivity. This

What you are suggesting is similar to the OWS-4 put together by OGC
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/pub/www/ows4/index.html)
This approach might even be able to be setup and organized BEFORE the

conference.

I thought I might put in my two cents worth. more from a philosophical

I have found that to make the full jump to FOSS4G might be overwhelming
for some. may I suggest a stepped approach where you run both FOSS and
