by video conference and teleconference. Sierra Systems Sierra Systems The agenda for this first meeting may not be the same as

Next Meeting Charter: a document that focuses on the strategic purpose

conveys operational planning – how, when and where. For your information, the following wiki topic at osgeo.org
describes the guidelines for chapter formation: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Local_Chapter_Guidelines The guidelines mention 5 steps in the formation of the
chapter… 1) "OSGeo Chapter" should self-organize (for
instance in the OSGeo wiki, via OSGeo mailing list, etc), seeking to determine
if a critical mass of interest exists to justify a chapter. DONE 2) "OSGeo Chapter" should prepare a mission and
objectives indicating the scope of the planned chapter (geographic or
linguistic extent for instance). PENDING: subject of first meeting…initial draft on
wiki 3) “OSGeo Chapter” should propose an official
representative to liaise with the OSGeo Board. If accepted by the board, the
representative will be an officer of OSGeo. TBD: subject of first meeting in election of chapter
Chair/Vice-chair 4) “OSGeo Chapter” should submit an official
expression of interest to form a chapter to the OSGeo board, listing initial
members, mission, representative and other supporting information. TBD: first responsibility of elected Chair 5) The OSGeo board shall then consider passing a motion
forming the chapter, and designating the liason officer. TBD: out of our hands! LOGISTICS: As for the meeting, we are planning on having the two
locations linked by video conference for the first hour, lunch will be in the
separate locations, initially coordinated by representatives of the two Sierra
offices (in the future by other lunch sponsors), the committee meetings will
occur in 6 meeting rooms linked by teleconference (i.e. 3 in Vancouver, 3 in
Victoria). We will all gather back in the video conference facility to wrap up
for the last 15 minutes. RSVP: If possible, please provide your intention of attending this
meeting to MartinKyle(at)SierraSystemsD0tC0m by Friday November 9, 2007 so that
we can have good numbers for ordering lunch and ensuring that the space
requirements will be met. Please indicate Vancouver or Victoria. I hope to see you all there! Martin Martin Kyle Tel

RE: Final Reminder - RSVPHi Everyone:
The meeting went well. I will post a full brief in the next couple of days...sorry been swamped. In summary...we have organized around two sub groups that are responsible for event planning which will occur every quarter. The Victoria organizing committee has the responsibility for the next meeting in February...where our group will start doing some events that go beyond the simple administrative duties required in the first meeting. I believe our attendance was somewhere around 20. I will have the final numbers after I process the meeting records. Jason Birch has already started improving the wiki...thanks Jason! You can find some info there now.

Where in BC?While the main meeting was naturally focused around Vancouver and
Victoria, I offered to help rally the troops in the interior and/or more northerly locations. Anyone who is on the list and NOT in the lower mainland or the Island, please speak up. I highly recommend we add our location beside each of our names in the list: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/British_Columbia_Chapter_Membership I took a first crack at it and added locations of people I knew already. :) Tyler On 21-Nov-07, at 12:57 PM, Kyle, Martin wrote: > Hi Everyone: > > The meeting went well.
