I'm an experienced GIS user, but I've only ever used commercial GIS software. I'm intrigued to learn more about free and open source GIS software but I don't really know where to start.<br><br>I reckon most of my GIS friends would be in the same position as me. Do you think it's worthwhile putting a "getting started" section on the FOSS4G website letting us know where to start?<br>
<br>Eg the conference DVD will include some FOSS GIS software. Is any of it available online already, and if so where can we download it and start playing with it before the conference? That way we would have a better idea of which sessions to attend, and would have a more compelling reason to attend in the first place.<br>
<br>What do you think?<br><br>Cheers,<br>Steve <br>
