What we're about
This is a meetup group for those in the DC area who like maps, GIS, OpenStreetMap, cartography and anything in between.
Started in July 2009, this group aims to keep the DC geo enthusiasts connected to each other for learning and socializing and probably some drinking.
You can follow us on twitter at @geodcmeetup.

Join us for our April meetup, organized jointly with our friends from the Society for Conservation GIS (SCGIS) DC Chapter!
SCGIS is an all-volunteer, U.S. based international network committed to advancing conservation GIS globally by building and supporting a vibrant community of conservation GIS practitioners.
We will network and hear lightning talks from awesome speakers:
Thayer Young from Cicada GIS and speaking on behalf of the Friends of Gwynns Falls Leakin Park and Old-Growth Forest Network, will talk about enhancing Baltimore's wilderness using GIS for grassroots forest preservation.
Joel Masselink from Creative Associates will present a personal project in progress assessing recent alarming expansion of semi-industrial mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
