> Dear OSGeo Board Members,

>
>
> On November 15, 2007 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Pacific, a group of
> people converged at two locations simultaneously and held a video
> conference in an attempt to form the British Columbia chapter of
> the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. This action was taken after
> a call for interest was officially made by posting a wiki topic on
> October 11, 2007. At the meeting, we enjoyed the presence of 22
> people and we discussed the structure and organization of our
> proposed chapter.
>
> An action item that arose from the meeting was for the elected
> chair to formally request that the board officially sanction the
> chapter. It is with this intent that I request on behalf of those
> who attended that a formal recognition be made for “OSGeo BC – the
> British Columbia Chapter of the Open Source Geospatial Consortium.”
>
> The group is currently comprised of individuals from both the
> public sector and the private sector. We represent interests as
> different as software developers to application end users, from
> consultants to those representing business operations. Initially,
> we have focused on the promotion of gatherings in Vancouver and
> Victoria; however, we have the intent of accepting additional
> groups that may want to join us at our meetings (e.g. Prince George
> and beyond). Thus, the scope of OSGeo BC is to form a locus of
> interaction for the open source geospatial community in British
> Columbia, Canada. We are organized into Local Interest Groups which
> serve the operational role of Organizing Committees for a quarterly
> event. The details of our formation can further be found at: http://
> wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/British_Columbia_Chapter

> Respectfully,
