Dear All,
While in India and Vietnam recently, I had the opportunity
to discuss about promoting OSGeo in these countries and
possibly establishing Local Chapter or Branches in India
and Vietnam.
Have setup a temporary mailing list for initial discussions
and formulation of proposal for OSGeo related activities in
India, Vietnam and possibly Thailand.
Anyone interested in joining the discussions can subscribe to
the mailing list at http://wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp/mailman/listinfo/osgeo_discuss
Regards
Venka

This sounds great! It would be good to condense what results from this
discussion onto a page on the OSGeo wiki as soon as consensus is forming...
At OSCON last week I met several people from the Postgresql community,
who are very interested in knowing more GIS and PostGIS people. One of
them in particular - David Fetter - asked if we had many members in
India and particularly asked for OSGeo related people to show their
faces at http://foss.in/2006/ - this is 24th - 26th November in
Bangalore. Perhaps this could be a good time and place for a meetup?
I'd love to get the Bangalore Free Map / Mumbai Free Map people to go
as well, they are postgis/mapserver/ka-map/openlayers users...
Good luck!
