Alberta Chapter
Calgary
A group of interested FOSGIS users did meet on April 29th 2010 in Calgary to get to know each other and talk about forming a local OSGeo chapter. The Group included users and developers with a business and university background. For the notes of this meeting please see: Calgary IG.
On this first meeting we decided to:
- do meetings once a month to get things started, e.g. set-up objectives of the interest group/chapter,
- create an email list: see http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/alberta,
- welcome other people from Alberta (or even other provinces) to participate in our activities
On the second meeting we identified some general points of interest:
- (free) Alberta geodata
- free GIS tools in Oil & Gas & Energy
- GIS software in general
The next meeting will be on the first Tuesday of July (i.e. 6th). The meeting will take place at the University of Calgary. For more info check the postings on the OSGeo Alberta email list.
