Whats Up at the end of Feb?

GS Guido Stein Public Seen by 138

Hey folks,

Here are some updates from me:
- I think I would like to do another info superhighway around community management in March
- met with the accountant, should have processes and tax report done by the end of march
- Laura would like to step down as treasurer, Micheal Terner would like to take her spot
- I have been approached by a representative of offline camp to look into fiscal sponsorship of their event (http://offlinefirst.org/camp/). They will send us a formal request if they would like to move forward. Personally, I think this would be a great event to support as a fiscal sponsor, but more to come
- FOSS4G-NA seems to be going well, they have reported to me that they are almost at break even for their financials.. Hooray
- FedGeo was amazing
- We need to set up a quarterly meeting for March... how does the end of march work for you?

-Guido

Hi! A few things from me:
* I know I owe us a technocation website - will work on that in the next couple weeks.
* The NERD summit (https://nerdsummit.org) is next weekend if anyone is interesting in attending. Could be a good time to attend and get a sense as to whether or not we'd like to sponsor next year's event. Unfortunately, I never got around to submitting a talk, but am planning on attending.
* The City is in the process of implementing a new data wharehouse that has a Postgres backend. I've been working on PostGIS training materials and will be presenting to my colleagues next week. Hoping to turn that work public soon - could be a good start to the list of GIS resources/"how to go from ESRI to open source tools" I think we talked about a little bit at our last meeting?
* End of March works for me for a meeting.

Guido - were any of the FedGeo day talks recorded or slides posted? Would love to take a look through them if they're around.

Thanks!
Kayla

Do you think we should do a community sponsor for this year?

We might be able to! Heres a link on their website: https://wiki.nerd.ngo/display/SPONSOR for sponsorship. The event is this weekend so its a little last minute, but I'd love it if we could!
