== About the PDX-OSGeo Local Chapter ==<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo is a Local Chapter of OSGeo. PDX-OSGeo has a catchment area equal to the PDX airport, Oregon and SW Washington (Vancouver, WA / Clark County, WA). Monthly meetings are held in Portland.<br />
<br />
=== History ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo has been around and meeting in one form or another since before February 2009 under various names. Since September 2010, we have been recognized as an Oregon-URISA [http://orurisa.org/PDXOSGIS Special Interest Group (SIG)]. Since 2010, the local chapter has coordinated an open source unconference with ORURISA and [http://orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action GIS In Action]. There are also deep roots with our sister OSGeo Local Chapter, [http://cugos.org CUGOS]. In August, 2012, we became an official OSGeo local chapter by action of the OSGeo [[Board_Meeting_2012-08-09 | August, 2012 board meeting]].<br />
<br />
=== Mission ===<br />
The PDX-OSGeo Chapter strives to promote the local use of Open Source Geospatial software, particularly new users in the Oregon/SW Washington area. The group hosts monthly meetings providing presentation, discussion, and educational opportunities and focuses on materializing an annual Open Source GIS unconference.<br />
<br />
=== Objectives ===<br />
Monthly Meetings, usually totaling 10/year:<br />
* Presentations (Application and Technical)<br />
* Chapter business<br />
* Social gathering<br />
<br />
Regional Events:<br />
* Open Source GIS unconference<br />
* Conference participation<br />
<br />
Communication:<br />
* Mailing List<br />
* Wiki Development<br />
* Monthly meetings<br />
<br />
Legal Status:<br />
* No real independent legal structure.<br />
* No real capacity to independently hold funds in other than ad hoc informal manner.<br />
* Affiliations with OSGeo and ORURISA help us with some of the tasks that require legal recognition as an independent entity. <br />
* There are currently no plans to seek any independent legal structure in the future.<br />
<br />

== About the PDX-OSGeo Local Chapter ==<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo is a Local Chapter of OSGeo. PDX-OSGeo has a catchment area equal to the PDX airport, Oregon and SW Washington (Vancouver, WA / Clark County, WA). Monthly meetings are held in Portland.<br />
<br />
=== History ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo has been around and meeting in one form or another since before February 2009 under various names. Since September 2010, we have been recognized as an Oregon-URISA [http://orurisa.org/PDXOSGIS Special Interest Group (SIG)]. Since 2010, the local chapter has coordinated an open source unconference with ORURISA and [http://orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action GIS In Action]. There are also deep roots with our sister OSGeo Local Chapter, [http://cugos.org CUGOS]. In August, 2012, we became an official OSGeo local chapter by action of the OSGeo [[Board_Meeting_2012-08-09 | August, 2012 board meeting]].<br />
<br />
=== Mission ===<br />
The PDX-OSGeo Chapter strives to promote the local use of Open Source Geospatial software, particularly new users in the Oregon/SW Washington area. The group hosts monthly meetings providing presentation, discussion, and educational opportunities and focuses on materializing an annual Open Source GIS unconference.<br />
<br />
=== Objectives ===<br />
Monthly Meetings, usually totaling 10/year:<br />
* Presentations (Application and Technical)<br />
* Chapter business<br />
* Social gathering<br />
<br />
Regional Events:<br />
* Open Source GIS unconference<br />
* Conference participation<br />
<br />
Communication:<br />
* Mailing List<br />
* Wiki Development<br />
* Monthly meetings<br />
<br />
Legal Status:<br />
* No real independent legal structure.<br />
* No real capacity to independently hold funds in other than ad hoc informal manner.<br />
* Affiliations with OSGeo and ORURISA help us with some of the tasks that require legal recognition as an independent entity. <br />
* There are currently no plans to seek any independent legal structure in the future.<br />

== About the PDX-OSGeo Local Chapter ==<br />
=== Introduction ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo is a Local Chapter of OSGeo. PDX-OSGeo has a catchment area equal to the PDX airport, Oregon and SW Washington (Vancouver, WA / Clark County, WA). Monthly meetings are held in Portland.<br />
<br />
=== History ===<br />
PDX-OSGeo has been around and meeting in one form or another since before February 2009 under various names. Since September 2010, we have been recognized as an Oregon-URISA [http://orurisa.org/PDXOSGIS Special Interest Group (SIG)]. Since 2010, the local chapter has coordinated an open source unconference with ORURISA and [http://orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action GIS In Action]. There are also deep roots with our sister OSGeo Local Chapter, [http://cugos.org CUGOS]. In August, 2012, we became an official OSGeo local chapter by action of the OSGeo [[Board_Meeting_2012-08-09 | August, 2012 board meeting]].<br />
<br />
=== Mission ===<br />
The PDX-OSGeo Chapter strives to promote the local use of Open Source Geospatial software, particularly new users in the Oregon/SW Washington area. The group hosts monthly meetings providing presentation, discussion, and educational opportunities and focuses on materializing an annual Open Source GIS unconference.<br />
<br />
=== Objectives ===<br />
Monthly Meetings, usually totaling 10/year:<br />
* Presentations (Application and Technical)<br />
* Chapter business<br />
* Social gathering<br />
<br />
Regional Events:<br />
* Open Source GIS unconference<br />
* Conference participation<br />
<br />
Communication:<br />
* Mailing List<br />
* Wiki Development<br />
* Monthly meetings<br />
<br />
Legal Status:<br />
* No real independent legal structure.<br />
* No real capacity to independently hold funds in other than ad hoc informal manner.<br />
* Affiliations with OSGeo and ORURISA help us with some of the tasks that require legal recognition as an independent entity. <br />
* There are currently no plans to seek any independent legal structure in the future.<br />
<br />

== Getting Involved ==<br />
The PDX-OSGeo Local Chapter is a flexible organization, join us and help steer.<br />
<br />
=== Membership ===<br />
Anyone who wants to help support our mission is free to become a member. <br />
'''List yourself on the [[PDX_Member | PDX-OSGEO Member Page]] and you're in!'''<br />
<br />
=== Mailing List ===<br />
Please join our mailing list to make sure that you know what's going on. Sign up and participate (or just lurk for a while). We have two main lists:<br />
<br />
* For general discussion and announcements: http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-osgeo You do need to answer the questions (what is your favorite map and something else I think) to the extent needed to demonstrate that you are a person and have the minimal amount of GEO knowledge to not be a random spammer.<br />
* For planning upcoming meetings (open to all participants): http://lists.pdxosgeo.org/sympa/info/planners<br />
<br />
=== IRC ===<br />
We can be found on irc://irc.freenode.net/#osgeo-pdx when there is something to discuss.<br />
<br />
=== Leadership ===<br />
To the extent that we think that we need leadership, it is [[User:Percyd | Percy]]. Mostly we expect everyone to step up and help on most tasks resulting in a light load for all.<br />

== Getting Involved ==<br />
The PDX-OSGeo Local Chapter is a flexible organization, join us and help steer.<br />
<br />
=== Membership ===<br />
Anyone who wants to help support our mission is free to become a member. <br />
'''List yourself on the [[PDX_Member | PDX-OSGEO Member Page]] and you're in!'''<br />
<br />
=== Mailing List ===<br />
Please join our mailing list to make sure that you know what's going on. Sign up and participate (or just lurk for a while). We have two main lists:<br />
<br />
* For general discussion and announcements: http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-osgeo You do need to answer the questions (what is your favorite map and something else I think) to the extent needed to demonstrate that you are a person and have the minimal amount of GEO knowledge to not be a random spammer.<br />
* For planning upcoming meetings (open to all participants): http://lists.pdxosgeo.org/sympa/info/planners<br />
<br />
=== IRC ===<br />
We can be found on irc://irc.freenode.net/#osgeo-pdx when there is something to discuss.<br />
<br />
=== Leadership ===<br />
To the extent that we think that we need leadership, it is [[User:Percyd | Percy]]. Mostly we expect everyone to step up and help on most tasks resulting in a light load for all.<br />
