== Chapter ==

'''The New Mexico OSGeo chapter is a collaboration envisioned by members from commercial, local government, and academic institutions in Albuquerque, NM.'''

* We would like any user or developer of geospatial software in New Mexico who believes in the advantages of open source to join our numbers. If you are not familiar with open source, check out some of the links below
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia on OS (the short of it)]
** [http://dreamsongs.com/IHE/ Innovation Happens Elsewhere (the whole book)]
** [http://www.revolution-os.com/ Revolution OS (movie form)]
** [http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/events/2006-04-10-12/ Open Source and Sustainability]
* Our core members are in Albuquerque, but one of our primary reasons for formation is to collaborate with people everywhere who are interested in contributing to our projects.
* Our primary language is English but we welcome members to work in or translate projects into Spanish or any of the various American Indian languages in the Southwest.

== Links ==

'''Our web site is still in formation, but you can view its development [http://209.126.150.147:8081/nmosgeo here]'''

== Mission ==
'''In addition to OSGeo's general mission, the local New Mexico chapter aims to:'''
* Provide a central server to host open source geospatial projects. Projects must be open source (or equivalent rights) to be hosted, but do not have to be polished software applications. They can be useful algorithms, scripts, spreadsheets, or other tools for using geospatial data.
* Provide a network for collaboration between our developers and experts and users around the world, including contact information for our members, mailing lists, and discussion boards.
* Actively inform organizations in New Mexico that express an interest in open source geospatial software about OSGeo.

== Projects ==

'''The New Mexico Chapter already has a few central projects it plans to start, including:'''
* '''Open Source Photogrammetry (OSP)''' (first up: orthorectification software based on [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL]) Note: look at [http://www.ossim.org OSSIM]
* '''Open Source Geodesy (OSG)''' (first up: alternative high accuracy reprojection and datum shifts, next possibly tools for "Blue Booking" survey monuments for the [http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/FGCS/BlueBook/ US National Geodetic Survey])
* '''Metadata''' (sure ArcCatalog is great if you're making 1 [http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata FGDC] compliant metadata file at a time, but how about 10,000? We think we can help bridge the gap)
* '''Miscellaneous Utilities''' since we have a few already in demand that need a home
** '''World File Manipulator''' to change world files en masse
** '''ImageLoad''' for loading images with world files into MicroStation and AutoCAD
** '''Feral''' for reprojecting points and datum shifts
** And more as we dig them up...

== Meetings ==

'''No meetings have been planned yet, but we intend to hold an introductory meeting and show Revolution OS to prospective members. Oh, and there will be open source (free) beer.'''

== Members ==

'''Right now there are only a few members, and we encourage others to get in touch with [mailto:zachary@stauber.org Zack] to sign up:'''

== Key Accomplishments ==
* Chapter continues
* Local web site continues [http://www.nmosgeo.org/ New Mexico OSGeo]

== Areas for Improvement ==
* Still getting chapter website/SVN repository off the ground
* Need to recruit more members
* Need to raise awareness of OS applications used by well-known local businesses, utilities, government agencies

== Opportunities to Help ==
* Once SVN repository is off the ground a member could make a template for project pages, one project per web page
* Members can upload their own scripts and utilities that to have a home for distribution

== Outlook for 2009 ==
* Definitely going to offer Metadata Manipulator and several other utilities for download on website
* Will attempt to regularize meetings monthly or bimonthly starting in summer

== Chapter ==

'''The New Mexico OSGeo chapter is a collaboration envisioned by members from commerial, local government, and academic institutions in Albuquerque, NM.'''

* We would like any user or developer of geospatial software in New Mexico who believes in the advantages of open source to join our numbers. If you are not familiar with open source, check out some of the links below
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia on OS (the short of it)]
** [http://dreamsongs.com/IHE/ Innovation Happens Elsewhere (the whole book)]
** [http://www.revolution-os.com/ Revolution OS (movie form)]
* Our core members are in Albuquerque, but one of our primary reasons for formation is to collaborate with people everywhere who are interested in contributing to our projects.
* Our primary language is English but we welcome members to work in or translate projects into Spanish or any of the various American Indian languages in the Southwest.

'''Our web site is still in formation, but you can view its development [http://209.126.150.147:8081/nmosgeo here]'''

== Mission ==
'''In addition to OSGeo's general mission, the local New Mexico chapter aims to:'''
* Provide a central server to host open source geospatial projects. Projects must be open source (or equivalent right) to be hosted, but do not have to be polished software applications. They can be useful algorithms, scripts, spreadsheets, or other tools for using geospatial data.
* Provide a network for collaboration between our developers and experts and users around the world, including contact information for our members, mailing lists, and discussion boards.
* Actively inform organizations in New Mexico that express an interest in open source geospatial software about OSGeo.

== Projects ==

'''The New Mexico Chapter already has a few central projects it plans to start, including:'''
* '''Open Source Photogrammetry (OSP)''' (first up: orthorectification software based on [http://www.gdal.org/ GDAL])
* '''Open Source Geodesy (OSG)''' (first up: alternative high accuracy reprojection and datum shifts, next possibly tools for "Blue Booking" survey monuments for the [http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/FGCS/BlueBook/ US National Geodetic Survey])
* '''Metadata''' (sure ArcCatalog is great if you're making 1 [http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata FGDC] compliant metadata file at a time, but how about 10,000? We think we can help bridge the gap)
* '''Miscellaneous Utilities''' since we have a few already in demand that need a home
** '''World File Manipulator''' to change world files en masse
** '''ImageLoad''' for loading images with world files into MicroStation and AutoCAD
** '''Feral''' for reprojecting points and datum shifts
** And more as we dig them up...

== Meetings ==

'''No meetings have been planned yet, but we intend to hold an introductory meeting and show Revolution OS to prospective members. Oh, and there will be open source (free) beer.'''

== Members ==

'''Right now there are only a few members, and we encourage others to get in touch with [mailto:zachary@stauber.org Zack] to sign up:'''
