Open Source GIS Presentation

[Aaron Racicot]

Hello,

Sorry for the possible cross post, but I thought that this might be of
interest to some people on both the Mapserver and Natural Resources
Mapping lists.  While this presentation is not just about Mapserver, it
is about Open Source GIS in our organization and where we are trying to
take the integration of web mapping and server side GIS.  

This presentation was my keynote talk on Open Source GIS made at Oregon
State University (OSU) for GIS day last week (Thanks to Dawn Wright for
the invitation!).  While the event is pretty much sponsored by ESRI,
there was a very high level of interest in Open Source tools this year.
We had a packed house of Faculty, Staff, Grad Students and industry
folks all with an open ear ... very cool experience.  The reactions were
great and I wanted to make this material available for anyone else who
might be interested in giving such a talk or just interested in my
self-centered look at Open Source GIS today.  I hope people are able to
follow the slides without me talking to them, but if there are any
questions or if it spurs some thoughts people want to talk about I am
very interested.

Feel free to download, pass on, munge, or whatever you feel like.  I am
always interested in what people think and maybe this will even spur
some chatter on these lists about Open Source GIS and Web-Based Decision
Support Tools!

Jeff,
I do not have permissions to add to the new "Mapserver Presentations"
page on the Plone site.  Can you either post this there or let me know
how users can get permissions to update these pages?  Thanks
