Re: [Talk-GB] UK chapter

[Dennis Bauszus]

Hi guys...

I have setup a blogger blog.

https://osmuk.blogspot.co.uk/

I believe that a blog will improve the way we can distribute information 
and encourage an active discussion via comments.


I have made comment sections open to everyone but we can lock this down 
to registered users.


I invited osmuk at nomoregrapes.com to become a blog author. I am not 
sure whether a google account is required to be a blog author.


Can you please send me your email addresses if you are interested in 
becoming a blog author and I will send you invites.


I think a post about where we are and what we plan to do in the next few 
months will be helpful.


A post to invite interested person to become founding members is also a 
good idea. We can thereafter send a link to some organisations who might 
be interested (e.g. Universities, GIS companies).


Cheers,
Dennis
