We are off and running!  Josh Livni (Umbrella Consulting), Michael Gerlek (LizardTech) and Aaron Racicot [ME!] (Ecotrust) got together and decided it was time to rally the troops.  We have scheduled our first official meeting to take place at the LizardTech office in Seattle on the 21st of March.  We hope to see many of the GIS professionals in the Puget Sound region for this great time to meet others in the area who share a passion for Open Source GIS.

See you there!

I have posted a new presentation on Open Source GIS that I gave on Feb 21st 2007 at Portland State University. Included is an audio recording of the talk, a ppt presentation, and a flash demo of doing some simple GRASS interaction.

Enjoy!

I went ahead and added some build notes that I have created in the past for setting up new Fedora based machines with a web GIS stack. Currently building on FC6 and will post soon. Hope this helps some folks out.

FC3 and FC4

Also, added a couple more historical presentations for archiving!

Thought I would take a few minutes tonight to brainstorm some topics I will be writing about in the near future. There is not any particular order but it does give an idea of some of the things I am working on currently. Looking forward to writing some of this up.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome…

Sean Gillies posted about this talk at the end of November and it just got posted on Slashdot yesterday, but it was only until last night that I woke up and watched it. While Eben Moglen might not be able to bring down the house with his camera presence, his talk on social justice and Open Source software is truly interesting and inspiring.

Well worth it… an hour well spent.

Started to work this evening to organize all of the papers and presentations I have done in the last couple of years dealing with Open Source GIS. I will be adding more as I clean things up and fill in the blanks.

Here is a link to the Presentations and Papers

I will be posting some entries on the current work I am doing over the next week. Please keep checking back.
