'''Monthly meetups''' are first Wednesday of every month - '''now ONLINE ONLY''' - and found at [https://www.meetup.com/OSGeo-Alberta-Chapter/ '''Meetup.com/OSGeo-Alberta-Chapter''']

'''Learn about Open Source Geospatial Foundation''' at [https://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo.org]

'''Join the Alberta Chapter Mailing List:''' http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/alberta

'''Join us on the [https://thespatialcommunity.slack.com/archives/CRBQLANH3 #osgeo-alberta] channel on [https://thespatialcommunity.org/ The Spatial Community] Workspace on Slack.

'''Add yourself as a member here [[OSGeo Alberta Members]]''' after requesting your wiki credentials https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount

== Chapter Objectives (Points of Interest and Objectives noted as meetings progress) ==

'''Connect the Community in Building Tools'''
* Lightning Talk style meetups with several builders/speakers per event
* Project Pitch/Workshops where folks can bring their problems to the group for discussion or just show how they've accomplished certain things to elicit better/best practices or new approaches
** We have had discussions on two proposed projects:
***Jeremy Squires proposed a tool for aiding constituents in responding to civic development proposals;
***Cassidy Rankine proposes building a tool for sharing radon measurements in our community and elsewhere
* Execute on Alberta Chapter project for demonstration at FOSS4G2020 conference here in Calgary, August 2020
**This has not been discussed in any recent meetings. Reach out if you would like to champion it.

'''Connect the Community in Learning Tools'''
*Evangelizing OSGeo projects and applications
*Project Overview sessions
*Workshop sessions ( install app, shared learning )

'''Setup the Chapter for Ongoing Success'''

This has not been discussed since the December 2019 meeting. Most recent attendees have encouraged a very informal environment.
*Develop a chapter leadership structure
*Review Chapter best practice / Touch base with other chapters
*Leverage Lessons Learned

'''Contribute to OSGeo Projects'''
*Execute Code-Sprints culminating in pull requests
**Please reach out if you are interested in championing specific projects

'''Create Resources for Ongoing Use'''
*'''Open Source Geospatial Community Stakeholders Directory'''
**Scott McHale would like to get feedback on creating a directory here of people and organizations with contributions to, and needs of, the geospatial community. The intent is to connect presenters with learners and users with creators.
*'''Open Data'''
**Develop a well-understood, well-curated repository of open data sources ( not a one-time list of links thrown on a page )

*Following:
**Stefan Price will probably have some stuff ( he usually does ) including:
***Google as part of their involvement in the Open-Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) has devised the "Criticality Score" as a means of judging crucial open-source projects [3]. and guess what, QGIS is in the top 10 for the C++ most critical projects, along with projects like Tensorflow, Ceph, Bitcoin and Electron. In the C category, you've projects like Git ant the Linux kernel, OpenSS...

*Stefan sent on TerraGIS info:
** Terra GIS is offering "Practical QGIS" - a 3 day class taught online December 7th through 9th, 2020 live from Seattle.
***Even though this is an online version of the class it will focus on learning QGIS doing practical exercises in a workshop style setting. ArcGIS users will learn how to easily transition to QGIS (or to using QGIS in addition to their existing GIS software/ toolset). Participants can choose to participate one, two or all three days. More information at http://www.terragis.net/gis-classes/practical-qgis/
* FOSS4G2021 "Come Hell or High Water" (which seems a bit brazen in these times. which I like) is launched - https://2021.foss4g.org/
* GISDay Geographies of Health and GIS Analysis research group at the O’Brien Institute of Public Health and is open to anyone with an interest in health and/or GIS. - https://events.ucalgary.ca/obrien/#!view/event/event_id/143419

Please feel free to come forward with your projects, initiatives, or even questions.

'''Following:'''

Recommend discussion on Glossary project. Email from planners:

Hi OSGeo folks,
A bunch of communities are coming together to address cross-domain management of glossaries in a pilot running August - December 2020. In particular, we will be building an OSGeo Glossary, as well as custom glossaries for any OSGeo project that wants one and is prepared to help select and define your term list.

Project manifesto is at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/edit#>

I'd like to introduce you to Ankita, Alyssa, and Naini who are tech writers who've volunteered to define and document our processes and glossaries.
You'll likely be hearing from them over the next month or two.

Primary communication will be on this email list:
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/lexicon
(Check your spam for your confirmation email when subscribing - gmail seems to have picked out "lexicon" as a problem word.) We will likely set up a slack channel as well.

If you'd like to join our kickoff meeting, please vote for your preferred timeslot at:
https://doodle.com/poll/6uwxyngtse4rzxsk (Week of 23-29 August). (We might need two timeslots)

Communities involved:
* Tech writing
* Data modelling
* OSGeo
* OGC
* ISO

Recommend discussion on Glossary project. Email from planners:

Hi OSGeo folks,
A bunch of communities are coming together to address cross-domain management of glossaries in a pilot running August - December 2020. In particular, we will be building an OSGeo Glossary, as well as custom glossaries for any OSGeo project that wants one and is prepared to help select and define your term list.

Project manifesto is at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Fjrl34ErnYammel9WmvXJ3rMWFANjoSiiGyyNSYOXUg/edit#>

I'd like to introduce you to Ankita, Alyssa, and Naini who are tech writers who've volunteered to define and document our processes and glossaries.
You'll likely be hearing from them over the next month or two.

Primary communication will be on this email list:
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/lexicon
(Check your spam for your confirmation email when subscribing - gmail seems to have picked out "lexicon" as a problem word.) We will likely set up a slack channel as well.

If you'd like to join our kickoff meeting, please vote for your preferred timeslot at:
https://doodle.com/poll/6uwxyngtse4rzxsk (Week of 23-29 August). (We might need two timeslots)

Communities involved:
* Tech writing
* Data modelling
* OSGeo
* OGC
* ISO

Any chapter business or suggestions

This event is open to all. Feel free to bring your topics, projects, or presentations.

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:
* Show us your side hustle
