Building relationships, getting more data for MSDIS and the National Map. 2006 CAP grant out, MSDIS proposing to write a metadata proposal. Proving assistance to MACOG regional transportation planners. NGA grant is in holding pattern. Surplused a lot of old equipment. MAGIC program looks to be in really good shape at this early date. Hired student web programmer to help Martin. Attended GIO roundtable, thought it was great, wish more IT directors had attended. Gov. Garinger presentation will be on MGISAC site soon.

David D: very happy to see people use the Wiki, will be happy to help more people begin to use the Wiki.
Mark D: please sign up for O&E if interested
Tony S: MDC moving forward with enterprise GIS, will integrateDBsinto a single DBMS. Will take a couple years.
Jeff S: MERIT registers opening soon, will post on MSDIS page and email. OA converting MERIT system from paper to digital, some questions about data transfer. Class specifications can be revisited as part of conversion.
Ryan L: question about spurious MSDIS job listing – Mark D. responded that job had been reasearched and was a valid posting – the “jobs” section of the site does provide a small amount of income from private buisnesses – hesitant to drop any funding source – he suggested such non-GIS postings go under an “other jobs” heading.
Mark D: had to move USGS forum
