Indigenous Knowledge List Subscribers,

My name is Dave Lewis.  I'm on the steering committee of the Palo Alto
Chapter of the Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR).
I'm organizing a Chapter Meeting around the topic of 

    Geographical Information Systems 

and a particular project here in the SF Bay Area called 

    BADGER (Bay Area Digital GeoResource system).


This meeting will one or two within the BADGER organization joined by
a user of BADGER data (e.g. a water agency), and with someone from 
the environmental side of things.  The goal is to identify and discuss
social and environmental concerns which may arise as a result of 
the computerization of geographical resource mapping. For example:
	Will such mapping increase the power and operating efficiency of 
	those who exploit these resources harmfully more than those who 
	seek to protect these resources?  Through what particular mechanisms
	will harm come?
	
	What measures should be taken to ensure that these efforts do more 
	good than harm?

I'm looking for someone to join us who would bring the perspective
of indigenous peoples and indigenous knowledge to the discussion.  

Is there anyone in this area (SF Bay Area) who would be interested in
participating in such an event?  Referals would also be appreciated as
well.

Sincerely,

Dave Lewis
Steering Committee Member
