The March issue of the Open Source Business Resource is now available in<br>
HTML and PDF formats at <a
href="http://www.osbr.ca/ojs/index.php/osbr/issue/view/83">http://www.osbr.ca/ojs/index.php/osbr/issue/view/83</a>.<br>
The theme this month is "Geospatial" and the articles and authors
include:<br>
<br>
Paul Ramsay, a Senior Consultant with OpenGeo, examines how geospatial open<br>
source provides an example of the market challenges of a mid-sized vertical<br>
market.<br>
<br>
Tyler Mitchell, Executive Director of the Open Source Geospatial<br>
Foundation, discusses the factors needed to get open source geospatial<br>
products into the hands of users, the value of marketing open source<br>
projects, and the advantages provided by an open source ecoystem.<br>
<br>
Mark Lucas, a principal scientist at RadiantBlue Technologies Inc., and<br>
Scott Bortman, system architect and primary developer for the OMAR web<br>
processing system, introduce the OMAR web based system for archival,<br>
retrieval, processing, and distribution of geospatial assets.<br>
<br>
Andrew Ross, a Director within the Engineering team at Ingres, provides a<br>
primer on geospatial technology and discusses some of the lessons learned<br>
from Ingres' geospatial open source project.<br>
<br>
Haris Kurtagic, General Manager and Founder of SL-King, and Geoff Zeiss,<br>
Director of Technology at Autodesk, introduce a standards-based framework<br>
for providing geospatial web services.<br>
<br>
The editorial theme for the upcoming April issue of the OSBR is "Open
APIs"<br>
and the guest editor will be Michael Weiss from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Carleton</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>.
