Upcoming events & an announcement

[Sara Safavi]

Greetings, atx-osg'ers!

It's been a while since I spammed your inboxes, so here's some news, a reminder, & an important announcement. If you read nothing else, please scroll down for the announcement. :)

Reminder: 

Next week is our GDAL/OGR installation party! Bring a laptop, it's gonna be fun.

Note: I've capped the attendance limit at 15 for this one, in order to keep things semi-manageable within our given 2h limit. Please make sure your Meetup RSVP status reflects your real-life plans! 

News: 

TNRIS has officially announced the date for this year's GeoRodeo! Register today to save your seat (it's free!) and tell a friend. Check out the keynote for this year: Andrew Hill of CartoDB will be back in Austin. GeoRodeo is a great event, you won't want to miss this.

Upcoming meetups: 

I've created a new pseudo-wiki page on our Meetup, collecting topics for upcoming monthly tech nights. Check it out:
http://www.meetup.com/atx-osg/pages/Upcoming_Tech_Night_Topics/

You should all have edit rights on that page -- feel free to add your own topics. Adding a topic != committing to lead the tech night, so it's safe to go crazy & add all the things. 

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: 

We're moving! But don't worry, we're not going too far. Starting in May, our monthly tech nights are headed downtown, to the ObjectRocket office on 6th st. This move will make it easier (read: no longer impossible) to use public transportation to attend our tech nights. It's also a more central location than the Rackspace office, which should help our south (and south-south-south) Austin friends attend more events. 

That's it! As always, thanks for reading this wall of text. Feel free to send me any questions, comments, concerns, or complaints. See y'all soon!
