Another good place to introduce OSGeo to NASA is the ESIP Federation,
where I think a number of OSGeo folks are already active. Their next
meeting is in July in New Hampshire. http://esipfed.org/events (ignore
the date typo, the 2007 there should be 2008...)

Greetings -
I'll give the “standard process” for announcing possible OSGeo
events suggested by Arnulf a try. If there is interest I'll create a
Proposed Event Wiki page.
NASA is holding their bi-annual Carbon Cycle and Ecosystem Joint
Science Workshop April 28-May 2 in College Park Maryland: http://cce.nasa.gov/meeting_2008/
This event would be an excellent opportunity to introduce OSGeo to
NASA and it's funded researchers. It will be well attended and I
think this NASA community is ripe for learning more about OSGeo.
This is potentially an important community since NASA is funding
researchers that develop software but it's often not developed
within open source communities even though there is an increase in
the use of open source software. My gut feeling is that the reason
for this is that many folks are not familiar with what open source
is all about and they are not aware of the great resources out there.
If folks are interested in pursuing this I will do what I can to
facilitate OSGeo involvement. I'm not certain if I will be able to
attend and even if I do it would be good to have someone involved
who is more adept at advocating for OSGeo than me.
All the best,
Ned
