NCWC GISUG Schedule: Sept 2003

I apologize for the delay in informing everyone. As in the past, we will be taking a BYE this month (SEPTEMBER) to accommodate harvest activities.

Our NOVEMBER TOPIC will be a revisitation of NDVI Aerial Imagery Methods and Products - USER PANEL

I will be assembling a panel of users who will answer a set of predefined questions and then offer any additional information they care to. We did this two years ago. The plan is to alternate every year between a group of imagery users and a formal imagery presentation. The panel is already rapidly forming, any users who would like to participate please let me know ASAP.

Also, I am planning a three-day ArcView/ArcGIS/Survey Analyst Workshop for the North Bay ag communities at a very, very reduced tuition to defray expnses. The timing is for early January 2004. ESRI will be involved and so will local Community Colleges. Stay tuned for more information.

Lasly, stay tuned for a survey and engineering oriented AutoDesk LDD workshop in the Napa area.
