* Phone: '''647.243.6108''' | MeetingID: '''2203355915'''
'''7.00pm''': Attendee Introductions

==Following==

'''Presentations:'''

Cliff Patterson, CEO of Luna Geospatial will present an end-to-end look at an open-source geospatial solution.

Open source technologies have transformed the way organizations build, manage, and share geospatial data. This talk demonstrates how four powerful tools can be integrated into a complete enterprise GIS solution—without the costs and restrictions of proprietary platforms.

We will begin with QGIS, a user-friendly desktop GIS that empowers teams to edit, analyze, and visualize data. From there, we explore PostGIS, the spatial extension to PostgreSQL, which provides the enterprise-grade database backbone needed for multi-user editing, versioning, and secure data management. Next, we highlight GeoServer, a robust standards-compliant server that enables the publication of vector and raster data as interoperable web services (WMS, WFS, WCS). Finally, we showcase LunaMap, a modern web GIS platform that delivers these services directly to the browser, offering interactive mapping for teams, stakeholders, and the public.

Through practical workflows and real-world examples, attendees will learn how to design an integrated stack that supports collaboration, transparency, and scalability. Whether you are a local government, a consultancy, or an educational institution, this session will provide the blueprint to adopt open source GIS confidently and effectively.

This event is open to all. Feel free to bring your topics, projects, or presentations.

== '''GETTING STARTED''' ==

'''Monthly meetups''' are first Wednesday of every month - online and IRL at Assembly Coworking Space - and found at [https://www.meetup.com/OSGeo-Alberta-Chapter/ '''Meetup.com/OSGeo-Alberta-Chapter''']

'''Learn about Open Source Geospatial Foundation''' at [https://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo.org]

'''Join the Alberta Chapter Mailing List:''' http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/alberta

'''Join us on the [https://thespatialcommunity.slack.com/archives/CRBQLANH3 #osgeo-alberta] channel on [https://thespatialcommunity.org/ The Spatial Community] Workspace on Slack.

'''Add yourself as a member here [[OSGeo Alberta Members]]''' after requesting your wiki credentials https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount

== Chapter Objectives (Points of Interest and Objectives noted as meetings progress) ==

'''Connect the Community in Building Tools'''
*A space for geospatial enthusiasts to share their efforts, problems, and solutions. If geospatial efforts and problems are shared, that's a success. If the solutions are open source, that's even better.

'''Connect the Community in Learning Tools'''
*Evangelizing OSGeo projects and applications
*Project Overview sessions
*Workshop sessions ( install app, shared learning )

'''Setup the Chapter for Ongoing Success'''

This has not been discussed since the December 2019 meeting. Most recent attendees have encouraged a very informal environment.
*Develop a chapter leadership structure
*Review Chapter best practice / Touch base with other chapters
*Leverage Lessons Learned

'''Contribute to OSGeo Projects'''
*Execute Code-Sprints culminating in pull requests
**Please reach out if you are interested in championing specific projects

'''Create Resources for Ongoing Use'''
*'''Open Source Geospatial Community Stakeholders Directory'''
**Scott McHale would like to get feedback on creating a directory here of people and organizations with contributions to, and needs of, the geospatial community. The intent is to connect presenters with learners and users with creators.
*'''Open Data'''
**Develop a well-understood, well-curated repository of open data sources ( not a one-time list of links thrown on a page )

* Phone: '''647.243.6108''' | MeetingID: '''2203355915'''
'''7.00pm''' Attendee intros: Huseyin, Kaitlyn, Stefan, Ala, Scott

==Following==

'''Presentations'''

* Huseyin brought up xmap - an AI mapping tool extracting answers from a map. We weren't fully able to ascertain whether whether it was trained on area-relevant data or if it was searching the internet based on the geographical context.

* Ala gave a quick look at some of the work he did using historical DEMs, bathymetry data, and historical georeferenced photos from City of Calgary to model the Glenmore reservoir at the Glenmore Trail causeway to ascertain the structural integrity in the foundation for the pumping station added to the area in 1996. Very interesting. Very cool.

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:
* Show us your side hustle
* Bring us your problems ( stuff you're working on and issues )
* teach something new ( OS Geo projects or other ).

== Meeting Notes: January 8, 2025 ==

'''6.45pm''': ONLINE LOBBY (https://meet.jit.si/OSGeoAlbertaChapterMonthlyMeetup)
* Phone: '''647.243.6108''' | MeetingID: '''2203355915'''
'''7.00pm''': Attendee Introductions: Stefan, Caitlyn, Tek, Devin, Scott

==Following==

'''Presentations'''
* Devin did a super-quick look at some automation he's been trying out with Kue. Like all LLM's, it shows promise but also very confidently makes mistakes. In Devin's example, it repeatedly announced it had added a requested layer when it had not. It was able to do some buffering on command, though, and it seems likely to develop into a very significant tool

'''Other Business'''
* Stefan on PGRouting
* OSGeo Rep at Datacon
** Datacon will have a community showcase section. I will likely be in Norway. Do we have other folks who would want to represent this group at that event?
** As it turns out, I will likely be in town but we are looking at booking a work event in that same calendar slot so it is unlikely I can take part and we didn't have anyone chomping at the bit to go. I'll likely decline with Datacon.

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:
* Show us your side hustle
* Bring us your problems ( stuff you're working on and issues )
* teach something new ( OS Geo projects or other ).

'''Chat & any proposed Chapter business or initiatives''':

This event is open to all. Feel free to bring your topics, projects, or presentations.

Marketing Committee Budget 2025

= Proposed Budget 2025 =

The following draft is for discussion.

'''Support:''' Marketing committee does not seek out and provide many explicit examples for sponsorship in our capacity as an outreach organization.

We do not wish to compete with general OSGeo sponsorship, or the regional events which we are supporting. Support is primarily sought with in-kind contributions from our OSGeo community. As example: Promoting USB sticks as paid for by a specific sponsor creates a competing sponsorship with the regional event sponsors providing USB sticks.

I am a geomatics fan and a believer that open source can help us build greater tools and better enterprises in a better way.

I have recently joined the marketing committee and have helped to organize and host the OSGeo Alberta Chapter meetup since December, 2019.

== Chapter Objectives (Points of Interest and Objectives noted as meetings progress) ==

'''Connect the Community in Building Tools'''
*A space for geospatial enthusiasts to share their efforts, problems, and solutions. If geospatial efforts and problems are shared, that's a success. If the solutions are open source, that's even better.

'''Connect the Community in Learning Tools'''
*Evangelizing OSGeo projects and applications
*Project Overview sessions
*Workshop sessions ( install app, shared learning )

'''Setup the Chapter for Ongoing Success'''

This has not been discussed since the December 2019 meeting. Most recent attendees have encouraged a very informal environment.
*Develop a chapter leadership structure
*Review Chapter best practice / Touch base with other chapters
*Leverage Lessons Learned

'''Contribute to OSGeo Projects'''
*Execute Code-Sprints culminating in pull requests
**Please reach out if you are interested in championing specific projects

'''Create Resources for Ongoing Use'''
*'''Open Source Geospatial Community Stakeholders Directory'''
**Scott McHale would like to get feedback on creating a directory here of people and organizations with contributions to, and needs of, the geospatial community. The intent is to connect presenters with learners and users with creators.
*'''Open Data'''
**Develop a well-understood, well-curated repository of open data sources ( not a one-time list of links thrown on a page )

== Members ==

* see the page [[OSGeo Alberta Members]] (feel free to add yourself - after creating a wiki login - https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount)

** Bob and Ricardo presented for the KOAC at our November meetup, showed maps and talked about their requirements and aspirations for the project
*** Allow visitors to "self-tour" the sculptures using handhelds with contextual information provided as needed and links for users to the center's webpages

** Yui and Nabila met seperately to discuss their approach and did some technology investigations
** Nabila led a meeting with KOAC's Bob and Ricardo (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/2021.11.12_KOAC_Project#DRAFT_MINUTES_in_progress_Kiyooka_Ohe_Arts_Centre_Project_Meeting_.28_will_be_confirmed_by_attendees_.29)

'''6.45pm''': NO ONLINE MEETING JULY & AUGUST

August Meetup at CRAFT Beer Market: 345 10 Ave SW

For the two upcoming summer meetup dates – July 3rd & August 7th – we’ll be switching the meetup to be In-Person only and will meet at local venues rather than at Assembly Coworking Space (we’ll return to Assembly with an online presence again in September). We’d like to make these meetups an even more casual social gathering but also use this time to collect thoughts and input on a new initiative being supported by our OSGeo Alberta Chapter: OpenSource Connect (tentative name)
There are many existing groups and meetups supporting or promoting use of open source technologies – Python, R, Unix, OSGeo projects of course, and more – and we believe there is a value in creating a venue specifically recognizing and promoting well and lesser-known opensource tools and technologies and showcasing collaborative examples and use cases.

This doc, provided in CryptPad end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite, contains a number of examples and we encourage you to add more, along with your questions and comments: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/Qz+GUt3MRYdkqEcMXGMznwI0/

In the meantime, here is a great 2023 keynote by Paul Ramsey: FOSS4GNA 2023 | What We Owe One Another: The Political Economy of Open Source https://www.projectgeospatial.com/podcast-archive/foss4gna-2023-what-we-owe-one-another-the-political-economy-of-open-source-paul-ramsey

We’d like to make these meetups an even more casual social gathering but also use this time to collect thoughts and input on a new initiative being supported by our OSGeo Alberta Chapter: OpenSource Connect (tentative name)
There are many existing groups and meetups supporting or promoting use of open source technologies – Python, R, Unix, OSGeo projects of course, and more – and we believe there is a value in creating a venue specifically recognizing and promoting well and lesser-known opensource tools and technologies and showcasing collaborative examples and use cases.

This doc, provided in CryptPad end-to-end encrypted and open-source collaboration suite, contains a number of examples and we encourage you to add more, along with your questions and comments: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/Qz+GUt3MRYdkqEcMXGMznwI0/

In the meantime, here is a great 2023 keynote by Paul Ramsey: FOSS4GNA 2023 | What We Owe One Another: The Political Economy of Open Source https://www.projectgeospatial.com/podcast-archive/foss4gna-2023-what-we-owe-one-another-the-political-economy-of-open-source-paul-ramsey

* Talked about Paul Ramsey's, "What We Owe One Another: The Political Economy of Open Source" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OfunxBysmg&t=1921s
* Harsingh is presenting a lightning talk on his Plus 15 navigation project: From Lost to Local in the Heart of Calgary: Mastering the Plus 15 Maze - Harsingh Sekhon, Join me for my Lightning Talk https://www.meetup.com/calgary-software-crafters/events/300772478/
*Stefan shared a number of events:
**https://2024.europe.foss4g.org/
**https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/foss4g-2024-has-been-awarded-to-belem-brazil/
**https://foss4gna.org/
**https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/wiki/QOD-April-2024

Some suggestions from the chapter for presentations include:
* Show us your side hustle
* Bring us your problems ( stuff you're working on and issues )
* teach something new ( OS Geo projects or other ).

'''Chat & any proposed Chapter business or initiatives''':

* We have an invitation from Jonathan Murphy to participate in the next GoGeomatics Expo in October: www.gogeomaticsexpo.com

* Personal note: I'm changing my mission.
**Since restarting the chapter in 2019, this group, for me, has been about simply holding open a space where people in the Open Source and Geospatial community could engage as frictionlessly as possible. My goals for the meeting were that people would share problems and solutions. If the problems were geospatial, even better. If the solutions were open source, even better still.
**Those goals remain, but there are some other things I will be striving to accomplish in addition to those, including:
***Forming a larger and more formal team - it's really been just Stefan and I - to drive the chapter/meetups
***More formal engagement with potential partner groups
***Increased OSGeo membership and engagement in Alberta (and, elsewhere, of course)
**There's no specific ask of this group at the moment. I will be polling the Meetup.com membership (I'll also look to extend that polling to industry folks and those NOT using open source) more formally in the coming months to get a much deeper understanding of what they're trying to do in GIS generally (personally and professionally) and what they feel the community here in Alberta is needing most. From there, I hope to help this group design itself to play the greatest part possible in providing that.

This event is open to all. Feel free to bring your topics, projects, or presentations.
