- Decision to organize a second edition of Rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec in 2012, in collaboration with Vision Geomatique as was done in 2010.
- Creation of a legal entity for the local chapter: OSGEO-QUEBEC was officially incorporated as a Quebec nonprofit organization on 2011-01-27, with the 5 members of the local chapter's steering committee as directors.

Areas for Improvement
- There continues to be growing interest for Open Source Geospatial software (and data) in Quebec, we had a great start in the past years and especially with our very successful Rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec in 2010, and now that we set the bar high we need to keep the momentum going.
Opportunities to Help
- Rendez-vous OSGeo Quebec 2012 offers lots of opportunities for people interested in contributing:
- Join the organizing committee
- Answer the upcoming call for presentations and share your work with your peers
- Help with specific tasks
- Register for the event and join us in Saguenay in October!
Outlook for 2012
- The main activity of 2012 will be the Rendez-vous OSGeo-Quebec 2012 (October 17-18)
- We will also continue to hold local meetings ("5 à 7") around the province with 2-3 15 minute presentations each time
