3. SAIAT (Southern Arizona Institute of Advanced Technology) GIS Education Information

    - Jennifer Sborov (520-573-7399 ext 109 or jsborov@saiat.org), the new GIS training coordinator at SAIAT has announced some new details for GIS training at SAIAT:

    - All members of the GIS Coop receive a 25% discount off of the stated cost of the GIS

      Course, provided each member tells SAIAT that he or she is a GIS Coop member. The previous pricing structure is now obsolete

    - For most classes, a minimum of four or maximum of 14 people can register. There is no

      requirement on filling each class, nor is filling the class a requirement for getting a price break (see new structure above)

    - Almost any class in ESRI's instructor-led class catalog can be taught at the center

    - Customizable GIS classes/training can be taught

    - March's ArcGIS I class has been changed to ArcGIS II

    - When registering for a class online at the SAIAT site, specify that you are a GIS Coop member in the 2nd address line

4. 2005 Ortho/Imagery Information Update - Manny Rosas

    - Unfortunately, Manny wasn't able to attend the GIS Coop meeting, but announcements were made on his behalf:

      - Total size of the 2005 Ortho Image set is 1.3-1.4 TB

      - A technical workshop for the image set will probably be conducted at a public facility in mid-February

      - Manny will possibly deliver a presentation at the Coop's Jan. 17th meeting on the U of A's 1/4 ft resolution imagery set along with the planimetric/footprint data for the entire campus

    - Pictometry and PAG will hold an end-user technical workshop on December 5th at PAG (177 N. Church Ave., #405, Tucson). Walk-ins will not be accepted. Contact Manny Rosas at MRosas@pagnet.org for more information

5. GIS Fair Results- Larry

    - The GIS Fair was a success for all of those organizations and individuals who participated!

    - Thanks to Bryn Enwright, Blanca Espino, and Larry Shelton for manning the GIS Coop booth and expending their time and energies to "spread the word" of the GIS Coop

    - Thanks to these three individuals, as well as the new members who signed up, the GIS Coop now has 20 new members!

    - Ideas for innovative giveaways (like keyrings, etc) for next year are now being entertained! J
