12:26:20 CameronShorter_: Is there anyone here from the SAC who can create a list foss4g2009-announce@lists.osgeo.org
12:26:23 CameronShorter_: http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/367
12:26:24 sigq: Title: #367 ( Create foss4g-announce email list ) - OSGeo - Trac ( at trac.osgeo.org )
12:26:53 CameronShorter_: I'm wanting to collect interested parties for FOSS4G.
12:51:05 wildintellect: anyone know what the deal is with the Elshayal GIS guy who keeps spamming osgeo members, and now the facebook group
15:10:16 Schuyler: what's the CFP deadline for FOSS4G? a cursory glance at the website reveals nothing
15:10:41 Schuyler: ah, it's on the front page, not on the CFP page.
15:16:15 TylerM: I see there's a shoutout to cfarmer, racicot, springmeyer and QGIS: http://geospatial.blogs.com/geospatial/2009/05/waurisa-osgeo-introduction-to-open-source-gis.html

17:59:52 darkblue_B: springmeyer: hello
18:00:23 darkblue_B: racicot has already leaked the news that your presentation went over very well :- )
18:01:34 darkblue_B: there is a demo at the USGS Western HQ in two weeks.. will you be in town?? pre-Where 2.0 the weekend of the 16th/17th
18:01:41 racicot: springmeyer rocks the house as usual... had them eating out of his hand...
18:01:51 darkblue_B: such mild mannered dude too
18:01:54 darkblue_B: who would know
18:02:13 darkblue_B: sleeper
18:02:27 racicot: he even incorporated a pink pony into his slides... I cant compete...
18:02:47 darkblue_B: I'm looking at your slides now racicot
18:03:23 darkblue_B: I could _maybe_ try the fTools part.. grass is out of my zone
18:03:55 : * springmeyer arrives to SF on the 19
18:04:09 darkblue_B: hmmm well...
18:04:23 darkblue_B: now you know about the demo at least
18:04:32 darkblue_B: you're hot.. what can I say.. in demand
18:06:05 darkblue_B: my PostGIS talk has done well in the past
18:06:08 darkblue_B: so I have that
18:06:29 darkblue_B: I gather it will be a sort of booth situation.. so not nearly as in depth
18:06:48 darkblue_B: certainly some adoption opportunity, however
18:07:24 darkblue_B: I have heard the the US Army Corp of Engineers is going to be doing the coastal survey thing
18:07:34 darkblue_B: you know.. sea levels
18:07:54 darkblue_B: and that the USGS has some other part of it... lesser to my mind, cant recall at the moment
18:08:59 darkblue_B: we have a very early rumor that TimLinux may come up with a short screen narration for Open Modeller, upon which he worked for quite a while
18:09:10 darkblue_B: screencast
18:09:44 darkblue_B: Landon the Sunburned Surveyor will be shaking hands and talking OpenJump/PostGIS
18:10:51 darkblue_B: QGis will have to be there, of course, as will OpenLayers, but I feel like I could talk more about the latter..
18:11:09 racicot: rope in jlivni ... he can put on a good show
18:11:26 darkblue_B: jlivini rocked the house at Google the other day :- )
18:11:33 wildintellect: we've got him lined up for Where
18:11:42 racicot: as always
18:11:46 wildintellect: darkblue_B, can you post more info about the open house on the wiki page
18:12:02 darkblue_B: or, I could talk up these fine fellows right here ;- )
18:12:13 wildintellect: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/USGS_Open_House_2009
18:12:14 sigq: Title: USGS Open House 2009 - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org )
18:12:16 darkblue_B: hey - I am cruising for material here wildintellect
18:12:45 : * racicot crawls back into his "create more material" hole...
18:12:47 darkblue_B: of course, yes, things ought to be laid down in a central location...
18:13:17 wildintellect: oh I'm planning on bringing the stuff, but I need hours, location, exactly what were doing, how many people we need
18:13:56 darkblue_B: I need to call the fine woman back
18:14:34 darkblue_B: .. we played phone tag so far, thats it
18:15:16 darkblue_B: ok, off to the store before it closes..
18:15:20 darkblue_B: congrats springmeyer
18:15:43 springmeyer: thanks darkblue_B
18:17:22 wildintellect: cloudmade sent me a bag of OSM buttons for the booth effort
18:17:29 darkblue_B: cool
18:17:44 darkblue_B: I am on record supporting cloudmade AND OSM
18:18:00 darkblue_B: I think thats fine.. I hope no ne objects enough to make a fuss
18:18:25 darkblue_B: ohh OSM buttons, ok, no drama
18:21:24 racicot: new CUGOS booth tri-fold for on the table... http://www.reprojected.com/presentations/Presentations/waurisa_2009/CUGOS_3-Panel.pdf ( 6.6 meg )
18:41:27 wildintellect: racicot, there's a spot in the osgeo svn for this type of stuff now
18:41:49 wildintellect: http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/local/
18:41:50 sigq: Title: Revision 1557: /local ( at svn.osgeo.org )
18:42:07 wildintellect: especially the files used to make the pdf so other chapters can rework for them
18:49:37 racicot: I will get the source behind it in the next day or so and post to the SVN. A member of our group made it and I dont have the source yet. The poster is still being printed for tomorrow I think ;- )
18:51:05 wildintellect: cool, we've got a letter to solicit sponsors in the California directorry
18:51:07 : * racicot likes to delegate
