Meeting - Wed March 16th - 6pm - LizardTech
Aaron Racicot
The March 2011 meeting will be this Wednesday (March 16th)... normal place
(LizardTech), normal time (6pm) [1].
On tap this meeting will be a 15-20 minute talk on:
"The tsunami forecasting system used by the US National Warning Centers.
The automated GIS system relies on deep-sea buoy and coastal tide gauge
data received via satellite and seismological data from around the globe.
It is designed using Java/Jini with Postgres/PostGIS and it was utilized
last week in the Honshu event."
We will also be talking about upcoming events like AAG [2][3] as well as getting
an update from the CUGOS crew that has been working hard on getting an OSM
planet dump imported and up with real time updates. Should be some great
discussion... we have learned a lot in the process.
Finally, there will be an OSM mapping event in the afternoon before the
CUGOS meeting. MattK has helped arrange for a space at Ridolfi across the
street from LizardTech. We will be doing hands on work in an effort to help
with the quake and tsunami in Japan. This will not be a basic training session
(although we want to encourage involvement)... but instead a hands on effort
to contribute to the mapping effort throughout the afternoon. Please be prepared
to make edits and contribute if you decide to come. The details follow below.
Hope to see you all there...

March 31st-April 1st in Portland, is the annual open source GIS
unconference. Like last year, it will happen immediately after GIS In
Action (March 29-30th). You can find more information, the sign up
link, or add ideas to the page here,
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Pdx#Unconference_March_31st_and_April_1st.2C_2011
You can find more information about GIS In Action here,
http://www.orurisa.org/GIS_In_Action
If possible and not conflicting with any CUGOS events like AGG or
WAURISA, we'd like to borrow the CUGOS OSGEO booth kit (OSGEO banners,
etc). I think the ideal time frame would be from March 29th-April 1st
although the beginning is probably more important than the end.
Could this topic get added to the meeting agenda? Also, is there any
CUGOSian planning on attending or being in Portland roughly March 29 -
April 1 who would be willing to transport for us?
Thanks for considering this, Eli and your friends to the South

Portland. If someone wants to transport it to Portland and can get it back
up to Seattle in time for the AAG conference, I'm willing to at least bring
it over on the ferry to downtown Seattle.

Northern Friends,

Sorry, I'm a little slow on this, I've been on vacation and just got
back (well, OK, two days isn't *that* slow).
Anyway, did we find a way to get this down here? I have a friend who
will be on Bainbridge this coming weekend, and would probably bring
the stuff back down here if you can get it to her. How much stuff are
we talking about?
I'm sure we won't have any trouble getting it back up for AAG. I'm
planning to be there myself, though I'm not sure yet if I'll be up for
the first couple days of the conference, so until I confirm that, we
probably don't want to count on me. Others here are likely attending,
however. I'm sure we can impress someone into it.

Bainbridge this weekend, and then you could arrange separately with Karsten
for the return trip.
