Great idea about the Linux User Group Alex. There is a local one here and
would be a great place to get ideas and maybe even recruit some people

So moving into OSGeo California territory?
FYI, the closest current thing is the GeoMeetup in SF area that Ragi runs.

For everyone else:
In big states it's a little harder for a Chapter to hold meetings more
Thanks for sharing you experience Brian! That's a great point about
consistency...I'll have to remember that when I get started.

What I learned in Corvallis:
Have a meeting scheduled for the same time slot EVERY month.
Then be there, even if you don't know if anyone will show up.
If no one else shows, you still have a committed time to study and learn
with no distractions. Don't you want that anyway?

once a month after work.
I do see formal Chapters in OSGeo (I notice the Japan chapter jus

Hey all,
I’m wondering about general guidance or anecdotal experiences of creating a
local chapter or informal users groups. I’m wondering whether it helps to

or whether critical mass of interest is gained organically ove
