Meetings
Meeting April 2010
The mindmap on the right summarizes what we talked about on the meeting, i.e.:
- finding objectives of the group (i.e. forming a mission statement)
- define what we don't want
- discuss further meetings
Meeting June 2010
- First Stefan Steiniger talked for about an hour on state of FOS desktop GIS. This talk was actually his OGRS 2009 conference talk.
- A copy of those slides is available here
- Then we discussed how we continue with the groups objectives. We looked for instance on the Mission Statements of the OSGeo Chapters of BC, Quebec and Ontario (see the http://wiki.osgeo.org). We agreed here that we keep working on a mission statement - but will probably wait 2-3 more meetings until we figured what each of us does and is interested in. However we already identified three main points of interest:
- Alberta geodata
- free GIS tools in Oil & Gas & Energy
- GIS software n general
- We also agreed that it may be useful to setup a member list. Stefan created a new wiki page for that, see OSGeo Alberta Members
