I think it would be great of we promote events that OSGeo is attending in an official capacity (like if a local chapter has a booth or something). Guido has set up a number of guest appearances for OSGeo (mostly partner events) in 2017 and we could of promoted our attendance a bit more.
Getting OSGeo present at more "normal" GIS events would be a great outreach goal for 2018. -- Jody Garnett On 24 October 2017 at 13:32, Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) < bob.basq...@ci.stpaul.mn.us> wrote: > All, > > Related to chanpter meetings (somewhat), we have a Regional Geo-event > coming together for this coming May.
