Hi all, This all sounds excellent. If other folks have ideas or proposals and you're worried about duplicating others' efforts, let me know on-list or directly -- I'm happy to help coordinate proposed workshop topics.
Keep the great ideas coming -- we have a great crop of possibilities, and I'm expecting more to come as we approach the deadline. cheers - Kristin Bott member, FOSS4G 2014 Organizing Committee Portland, OR On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 3:26 PM, Tim Sutton <li...@linfiniti.com> wrote: > Hi all > > Thanks everybody for responding - it is nice to see that there will be > good representation of QGIS there, and from what I can see nobody is > duplicating each other's work! > > Regards > > Tim > > > On Sat, Mar 15, 2014 at 12:25 AM, Tim Sutton <li...@linfiniti.com> wrote: > >> Hi >> >> >> On Fri, Mar 14, 2014 at 9:08 PM, Larry Shaffer <lar...@dakotacarto.com>wrote: >> >>> Hi Tim, et al., >>> >>> I am currently working on a presentation and workshop for the upcoming >>> inaugural QGIS user group meeting in DC [0].
