No News is Good News

Sorry guys & gals, I don't have much news to tell you regarding the recent meeting held last Saturday, July 25th.

The good news is we have Al, Emy, Dory, Joey, Vic, Libring, Ester, Truit, Arnel, Wena, Bert, and Eva in attendance to enjoy the get-together.

Discussion was focused on the importance of member participation on the monthly meetings and enjoy the laughs and the pot-luck style servings. May nag-comment na tinatamad umatend yung iba kasi daw "nawala ang point of interest" at yung iba naman because they don't feel discussing serious topics such as our funds, projects, financial burden etc...

Most attendees admittedly say we are not ready for "prime time" just yet. In other words, most would just like to enjoy the moments together and have a good time.

Some other topics were discussed too but would prefer not to write them here because of the sensitive nature of them. In due time it will be discussed when we all are ready. ;-)

In the meantime, let's all enjoy life...have fun while you can....cheers!

ESRI '09

Last week I attended the Environmental Science Research Institute (ESRI) Annual User Conference in San Diego. It's the Super Bowl of GIS (Geographic Information System) users where geeks, nerds like me, and what not meet yearly to brainstorm about latest technology in computer mapping & geographic data analyses...and of course to party.

It's an annual event I look forward to and excited to be part of and this year is no different. It didn't fail me as I get to meet many GISers from all over the world, meet new friends, and kiss-up with old ones.

The first pic below (left image) is our own entry to the Map Gallery. We didn't win though...
