	+ ------ + ''2010-08-25 15:44:09'' [[nbsp]] Ryan-would you be ok if I installed this [http://buffalo.wikispot.org/Events_Index Events Index] page on Davis Wiki? Bradmandell started this on [http://www.rocwiki.org Rocwiki] and I implemented it on [http://buffalo.wikispot.org/Events_Index BufWiki]. I think it's a great way of categorizing events/openings by year in a way that people can just browse through and look at. I'll do the install and year-to-year setup entirely. --["Users/PeterBoulay"]

Beginning Fall 2009, I will be studying ["UC Davis Geology Department" Geology] at UC Davis. I may be minoring in Geographical Information Systems.

As an added bonus, I got to help put wildland fires out by supporting the efforts as a radio operator (RADO) trainee and GIS Specialist trainee. - - == GIS == - I have been messing around with GIS as a hobby of sorts. I of course cannot afford the ArcInfo package, etc., but I can afford [http://www.qgis.org Quantum GIS] (QGIS). Why? Because it's [wiki:wikipedia:"open source"]. I've learned a lot without any official coursework but I sort of have that "gift" with software. Fortunately, as an intern at the Forest Service I had access to ArcMap and was able to learn quite a few things. In any case, GIS is a perfect companion for City Wikis. People love ["maps"]! Of course [wiki:wikispot] has a mapping feature that geolocates addresses using Google Maps. But that's about it. Thus the usefulness of GIS. My [http://www.distortions.net website] has a handy list of data sources that I use for maps on this wiki. - - === Current Mapping Projects ===	+ = Current Mapping Projects on Chico Wiki =

That's why I have tried to keep up the geocaching pages and whatnot. I think I'm making a hike in upper park friday too, so I will try and update wanted and seeded pages for the park when I do.

They were actually two separate fires, separated by a day but connected because of flare up in a hot spot. I believe ~June 8-10 were the dates on it. It was the first major set of fires in the area, the ones in Chico started as or shortly after the fires in Orland were going. --["Users/JohnNash"]

I took them for the units but I opted for geology for how interesting it is. You and I may have to talk about some of the professors once you end up there. I highly recommend checking out the lake during the week (it always seems busy during the weekend during good/hot weather). It's very full right now and since it looks like you do a bit of caching, there are some fun ones in the area. --["Users/JohnNash"]

And hey, it made me realize I forgot to put the fair on the ["Events Board"], hehe.

I was also a transfer student to UC Davis although I lived in the dorms(Primero Grove) my first year. Back then there was a transfer student program and all the transfer students got to live together. We had a lot of activities that guided us through our first year at Davis. It was a lot of fun with all the barbecues and theme nights. I made a lot of friends. We also had some older students who were entering college after serving in the military. One guy was from the Air Force. I later moved into the Primero Grove Apartments when they converted to a privately run apartment complex. --["Users/MaxLucas"]

- Hello. While it may seem like I "own" this wiki, I really don't (technically, [wiki:wikispot] does!). This is a ["wiki community" community] effort thus no one owns any given page. If you have a problem with something written on this wiki, please make create a user account and make a comment on that page. Then everyone in the Wiki Community can discuss your problem and reach consensus. Only e-mail me if there is a technical problem with this wiki. Otherwise, it is a sure bet you can talk it out by using the comments feature on most pages. Note that deleting content without a good reason is usually not appropriate and will be added back in. Also, if you notice a detail on a page is ''wrong'', it is very easy to fix it by clicking the Edit button and changing the text and saving it.

	+ * I find this to be a very interesting topic, and I see sort of two different questions that are being addressed. While I agree that there is only one "University President" in Chico (the other would be president of Butte College, which is a ''community college'' and not a ''university''), I think what Ryan is trying to do is make the page titles explicitly say which school they are referencing. Because there is only one president of one university, I am really not worried about it being ambiguous, although I see Ryan's side too. So I am not really 100% behind one side or the other. As for the use of "Chico State" vs. "Cal State Chico" (or any other permutations), I would say that the university can use whichever suits them and we can use whatever suits the community as a whole. A local wiki is about the community, and in Chico, no one says "Cal State Chico" or the formal "California State University, Chico." The university has their own website where they put up their official promotional materials and use the name that they prefer. I feel that the wiki should reflect what the community experience is, which is not formality. --["Users/StaceyEllis"]

I don't really think there is a second person with any of those titles at all. They don't like to use "Chico State" usually. It's either "Cal State Chico" (which nobody in Chico really uses, but the university uses it in their promotions) and there is "California State University, Chico" or just "CSUC". --["Users/GregBard"]

I'm slowly building a "cartographic sense." Sadly, QGIS does not have a very good map composer facility so I'm somewhat limited in what I can do within my limited free-time. Semester Fall 2008 has me taking 15 units, two GE and two high-level math and physics courses. Needless to say... I'm starved for time! So if you can make maps, ideally using open source tools, go for it!
