Wait. Who are you guys?

Good question.

We are a bunch of spatial nerds who met online and started a group. That’s it.

We are HEAVILY inspired by the ol’ GeoBLR and the new GeoPune groups.

We are also working professionals, researchers and developers (someone’s gotta pay the bills).

I mean, who are you really?

So we have a tiny committee that takes care of outreach, deciding on themes, getting chai, emailing folks who’d like to talk, getting chai again and finding venues to host.

Here’s the present committee.
