<p>Presentations, videos and posters from the international
conference for Free and Open Source Software for GeoSpatial are now
online. So if you missed the conference, or couldn't attend all the
sessions, you now have a second chance to participate. In particular, I
strongly recommend viewing Paul Ramsey's thought provoking and
entertaining keynote speech, " Beyond Nerds Bearing Gifts: The Future
of the Open Source Economy", <a
