evening presentation sessions or short seminars with Q and A afterwards.<br /> <br /> === Upcoming Events ===<br /> <br /> '''24-25th September 2008:''' [http://www.agi.org.uk/ AGI Geocommunity 08]. While we have been unable to secure a room for a meetup at this event, we should aim to get as many interested people together, even if it's just for a chat at lunchtime.<br /> <br /> '''29th September - 3rd October 2008:''' [http://conference.osgeo.org/foss4g/2008 FOSS4G 2008]. This is the big international conference for OSGeo. We will be doing a short report at the AGM on the progress we have made with the UK local Chapter. Perhaps people who are attending and would like to meet up with fellow brits could put their names here, or arrange on the mailing list to meet up?<br /> <br /> === Recent Events ===<br /> <br /> '''16-17th June 2008:''' Meetup during the University of Nottingham's [http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/geography/geowebservices/ Geowebservices workshop]. We are looking for people to help promote OSGeo at the event- check out the mailing list for details. See the wiki page [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_UK_Meetup_June_2008 here] for further details and discussion.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''1st May 2008:''' UK OSGEO meetup after 1Spatial Conference at Radisson Hotel, Stansted. This is your chance to decide what a UK local chapter should do!
