 * Following: Any chapter business or discussion.
 * We are discussing bringing on GIS/Geospatial projects which members can take on or assist with. This meeting we will talk about how we might want to first capture, then track and engage with projects.
 * We've had two suggestions for GIS projects which would be useful for local non-profit groups. We can use those - or any other proposals which come forward - as examples as we determine how to move forward on this initiative.


 * NOTES:
 * Scott reach out to Tanya on Arts center project
 * Scott make inquiry on attaching "mentors" ( folks who would make an hour per week/mo/whatever aailable to support a project ) to projects
 * Scott reach out for BA's who would want to help sus out the needs of the stakeholder groups
 * Ask Tanya to help coordinate the talk with the Calgary Without Cars team
 * We will not solicit further projects for the time being
 * want to be sure not to take up stakeholder time if nothing produced
 * Try to have mentors "phase" the projects so newcomers can assess their ability to take it on
