<span><div><div>Hi Jody,<br><br>I am doing a geospatial integration product development for Mincom as part of the Ellipse 8 rewrite based on an open source technology stack. I would be keen to find out what other open source geospatial projects are going on in Brisbane as well as get a debrief on FOSS4G (I got to the Sydney one but missed the last two). I think the last Brisbane get together was about two years ago and I found out about it too late.<br><br>If the edge is not suitable then the Mincom auditorium is available after hours for no charge.
