For those going to GIS-T next month in Florida, what would you like to get out of the RHUG SIG meeting? What type of format, questions, etc would you like to see?

One thought - the introductions at the last GIS-T RHUG SIG took a long time. It was fun to meet everyone and learn a little about everyone's favorite band but maybe this time we can skip the introductions and get right to the DOT vs Esri arm wrestling match.

I agree, hence this post.

I do feel sorry for Nathan, we have John from Alabama. You know that boy is country strong. Won't matter if Nathan tries to go Over the Top, jest saying.

a "mastermind group" might be a potential approach to the meeting format. Users can prepare for the meeting by submitting written problem statements of solvable challenges. Then the group members with ideas or experience with similar problems can advise. It's pretty much what we do anyway.

Thought of the day March 21 2019. I am working on rectifying the RHUG enhancement list with the ArcGIS Ideas. I'm not taking into consideration the work that the Esri team has been building into the current and future releases based on the latest enhancement list, so a straight conversion could generate a lot of useless content.

So, I propose we take some time during the meeting to hash out listed enhancements as ideas, and to gather new ideas as well. Working together in the SIG meeting, DOT "hand in hand" with Esri, I think we can efficiently convert the listed enhancements to useful ideas for the product development team. That would have the additional benefit of assignment of ownership to the idea contributor.

In the meantime, I recommend adding any new ideas or old ideas you may have to the ArcGIS Ideas page ArcGIS Ideas and tag the idea with "RHUG" as well as any other relevant tags - desktop, server, event, route, etc. That would give us a head start for the GIS-T SIG meeting, as well as allow for contributions by interested parties unable to be present with us at GIS-T.

The https://community.esri.com/groups/roads-and-highways-user-group-rhug/pages/rh-enhancement-requests has been updated to provide a link to current ideas based on tags potentially relevant to this user group.
