Date set for 2012 ASPRS-WGL Golf Outing

Mark your calendars for our annual golf outing on Friday September 7th at the Kilkarney Hills Golf Club in River Falls, WI!  Tee times begin at 12:00 noon, with the social hour, dinner and prizes to follow at 5:00 p.m.

The details:

• Cost for the event is $65 per person, which includes golf, cart, dinner basket, and prizes. 
• The number of golf participants is unlimited at this time, but first come first serve for pre‐paid golfers if the course limits us in any way.
• Sign up individually or with 1‐3 others. 
• We will attempt to play rain or shine pending course and/or participant judgements...so please show up. As always, lightning will definitely be a showstopper. 
• There will be all kinds of door, hole event, and team prizes so nobody will be going home empty handed!

Save the Date FOSS4G North America 2013 in Minneapolis

Today the 2013 FOSS4G North America Conference Committee announced that the 2013 FOSS4G North America Conference (FOSS4G-NA) will take place May 22-24 at the Marriott City Center in Minneapolis, MN.  FOSS4G brings together public and private-sector stakeholders, innovators and developers who are at the forefront of free and open source software for geospatial applications.

FOSS4G-NA 2013 will offer a broad program to discuss and build tools to help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems and business needs.   Notably, 2013 marks the 10 year anniversary of the first MapServer Users Meeting in Minnesota, the immediate predecessor of the FOSS4G Conference Series.

FOSS4G-NA 2013 follows on the success of the 2012 conference held in Washington, DC.  This regional event complements the larger FOSS4G International Conference, the leading global conference organized by OSGeo focusing on Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial. The 2013 FOSS4G International Conference  is currently scheduled for September 17-21 in Nottingham, UK.
