A group of interested FOSGIS users did meet the first time in 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 our meeting please see: Calgary IG.

The next meeting will be on the first Tuesday of the next month, August 3 2010. The meeting will take place at the University of Calgary. For more info check the postings on the OSGeo Alberta email list.
