SHRUG Weekly 20020501
Hello SHRUGgiEs!
This week's notes...
1.) April 17th Meeting a Success!
2.) SHRUG, Inc. Charter and By-laws...
3.) Next SHRUG Quarterly?
____________________________________________
1.) April 17th Meeting a Success!
Many thanks are due to Brian Pierce and the
rest of the staff at FDACS for hosting the
recent SHRUG Quarterly. The meeting began with
the usual "Strategy Meeting" (details below)
and the main portion of the gathering was used
to share Brian's vision and the development
and evolution of GIS at FDACS. Highlights
included the "FDACS Enterprise Geodatabase
Structure and Naming Conventions" and the
"FDACS Propsed Method to Restrict Access to
Map Services". Brian provided materials and
documentation of such, so please contact him
with any questions or requests regarding GIS
at FDACS.
2.) SHRUG, Inc. Charter and By-laws...
During the main portion of the meeting, a vote
was called to allow the SHRUG Workshop Planning
Committee (WPC) to draft the formal documents
needed for SHRUG, Inc. to apply for tax exemption.
Such documents include a formal Charter, to outline
the principles, functions, and organization of SHRUG,
and a set of Bylaws, to define the governing rules
of the internal affairs of SHRUG. Once drafted,
these documents will be pushed to the SHRUG website
for review by all members. The plan is to have the
Charter and Bylaws ready for adoption by the next
SHRUG Quarterly Meeting.
3.) Next SHRUG Quarterly?
We received word from two possible hosts for
the next SHRUG Quarterly, tentatively planned
for July. Gary Watry of the FDCA DEM Emergency
Operations Center volunteered, "as long as the
EOC is not activated." And Joe Noble of the Tall
Timbers Research Station also volnteered.
Details TBA.
Cheers, bill
