What?
Our first OSGEO local chapter meet up! We will chew the cud, show you some cool stuff and start to get people familiar with the brilliant FOSS GeoSpatial products out there!
Where?
Gavin can you add travel details + lat/lon for the location? Embed an openlayers map here?
When?
* November 29th * Presentation and workshop segment: 10am to 1pm * QGIS Bug Party!
Presentation and workshop segment
- Install postgis : Gavin

QGIS Bug Party
Each person attending will get a free copy of QGIS 1.0.0 Preview 2 absolutely free of charge! Sorry no shrink wrap copies available. Preview 2 is the second in a series of preview releases we are making before we release the Stable QGIS 1.0.0 with long term support. We need your help to:
* file bugs (after first checking that no matching bug exists) * verify open bugs are still valid * mark bugs that seem to be fixed * test on different machine configurations (bring your laptops!)
The idea is not to try to *fix* the bugs, but rather to do a QA session on the bugs in the bug tracker. In the process you will learn how to interact with an Open Source project the Right Way i.e. filing good quality bug reports.
I will start off with a simple show and tell covering:
* where to find the QGIS (and other OSGEO projects bug tracking sites) * creating an account so you can file non-anonymous bugs and feedback on any OSGEO project bug tracker * how the bug tracking system works - what the various input fields in the QGIS tracker mean
After that I will turn you lose on the queue and a shiny copy of QGIS preview 2 and let you have it. Part is over when the last man falls asleep at the keyboard! Ok probably we will finish at between 4:30pm and 5pm if my wife has anything to do with it!
