We had several announcements for upcoming events, including the Esri Fall
Education Open House
<https://registration.esri.com/flow/esri/26eduophofa/registrationrequest/page/registration-details>
on October 7, and the call for submissions for UC GIS Week
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCL06IJq_hJX7QnGWJdQS4mOJuxyvkFFHpAQg57yPImfUi9w/viewform?pli=1>,
which
remains open until October 16. Be sure to check out all the announcements
in the notes!

At the meetup I presented on geospatial resources at UCR. Please view the
slides
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1dzs6-249iqL6MAYl1JCmVTBK3WGosSze/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102703430799719603412&rtpof=true&sd=true>
used in the presentation, as they contain many links that would typically
be found in the notes. I am also attaching a copy of the slides in case you
have difficulty with the Google Drive link.

Notable topics included:

   - the transition of how and which services the library will provide in
   the short term,
   - a new tool that guides beginner mappers through the process of
   creating a map
   - the ability of UC employees to join the State of California GIS
   Community of Practice

Within a week or so, we hope to have the recording of just the geospatial
resources presentation available on the Library's YouTube channel.

Our next meetup, on October 14, will feature a presenter with a solution
for providing geospatial computing using modern hardware.

Best wishes for the start of the academic year!
