<br>
If you are interested in learning about open source GIS for the .NET<br>
platform, please consider coming to MapWindow 2010 in Orlando,<br>

(<a href="http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2010/" target="_blank">http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2010/</a>)<br>
<br>
This is the first official meeting of the MapWindow GIS project team<br>
since it's release as open source and will include workshops and<br>
technical presentations on building applications for Windows using our<br>
programming libraries, using our end-user desktop application, and<br>
working with a number of third party applications for environmental<br>
and water resources modeling built on the MapWindow platform.<br>
<br>
MapWindow (<a href="http://www.mapwindow.org" target="_blank">http://www.mapwindow.org</a>) is an ActiveX and .NET<br>
programming library, plug-in development environment, and simple end<br>
user desktop GIS primarily for the Windows operating system written in<br>
C#, <a href="http://VB.NET" target="_blank">VB.NET</a> and C++, and integrating and exposing to .NET programmers a<br>
number of low level OSGeo libraries.<br>
<br>
The main application receives approximately 6000 downloads per month<br>
from around the world and has been downloaded over 270,000 times since<br>
being released as open source in 2005. MapWindow It is translated in a<br>
dozen or so languages and has a large source code contributor team<br>
representing every continent except for Antarctica (sorry...) and<br>
there are about 9,000 people on our opt-in mailing list.<br>
<br>
Please feel free to learn more about the project here:<br>
