\section*{ Key Accomplishments }

\begin{itemize}
	\item  Chapter was founded with seven members 
	\item  Local web site was set up \href{http://www.nmosgeo.org/}{New Mexico OSGeo}\footnote{New Mexico OSGeo Site: \url{http://www.nmosgeo.org/}}
	\item  Areas of focus were defined: 
		\begin{itemize}
		\item  User support group for New Mexicans and attendees of the \href{http://nmgic.unm.edu/}{New Mexico Geographic Information Council} (NMGIC)\footnote{NMGIC: \url{http://nmgic.unm.edu/}} semiannual meetings 
		\item  Authoring of software needed by members 
		\item  Hosting of existing projects with no home 
		\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

\noindent Beta of Metadata Manipulator for populating large amounts of metadata was written, being tested on new topographic data acquired in New Mexico and aerial photography acquired in Texas. \\

\noindent Python scripts for cataloging data hosted by the \href{http://rgis.unm.edu/}{Resource Geographic Information System} (RGIS)\footnote{RGIS Site: \url{http://rgis.unm.edu/}} were written and put into use. 


\section*{ Areas for Improvement }

\begin{itemize}
	\item  Still getting chapter website/SVN repository off the ground 
	\item  Need to recruit more members 
	\item  Need to raise awareness of OS applications used by well-known local businesses, utilities, government agencies 
\end{itemize}

\section*{ Opportunities to Help }

\begin{itemize}
	\item  Once SVN repository is off the ground a member could make a template for project pages, one project per web page 
	\item  Members can upload their own scripts and utilities that need to have a home for distribution 
\end{itemize}

\section*{ Outlook for 2008 }

\begin{itemize}
	\item  Definitely going to offer Metadata Manipulator and several other utilities for download on website 
	\item  Will attempt to regularize meetings monthly or bimonthly starting in summer 
\end{itemize}
