The CUGOS group http://groups.google.com/group/cugos (a chapter of OSGEO) is doing an introductory workshop on Open Source GIS at the upcoming WAURISA conference in Bellevue, WA, USA from May 4th-6th. The half day workshop "Introduction to Open Source GIS - A Practical Approach": http://www.waurisa.org/conferences/2009/Workshops.html will be held on May 4th, 2009. CUGOS will also have an information table related to FOSS4G, OSGEO and related local resources.

The conference will also be of interest to more advanced users and developers of FOSS4G since it will host a substantial number of talks related to OS GIS (12+ presentation out of 60 or so) http://www.waurisa.org/conferences/2009/Agenda.html

Remember to sign up for the conference by 4/21/09 to get the early bird rate http://www.waurisa.org/conferences/2009_Conference_Index.html

OSGeo edu folks-

1) Just wanted to pass on a note of thanks to Karsten who (see below)
will be posting his workshop educational materials [1] to our inventory and
also has added himself as a local chapter liaison to our group. This is
friendly encouragement for others to step up and do the same! See [2] ;-)

2) Does anyone have an idea on how we can (or the abilities to) set up
an OSGeo edu blog that we all can post to?

Charlie

Charlie,

I don't think a blog should be that difficult. Do you think we need
something set-up on the OSGeo framework, or would an external blogging
site work?

Pretty easy to set up an individual blogger on OSGeo systems, but not  
so sure about doing group stuff there.  This is the sort of thing I  
was day dreaming of having a community centric site for someday,  
rather than only having the principle OSGeo web presence.  I'm  
curious to know who/how many folks would actually use a group blog  
tool on this topic - or is just having a single account available for  
it good enough?
