[OSGeo-Discuss] Your open source career

[ChrisWebster]

Thanks, Markus.

By the way, for anybody else looking of a fairly painless intro to FOSS GIS,
I can heartily recommend Scott Davis's book "GIS for web developers".  It's
aimed mainly at web mapping rather than heavy duty GIS, but it will get you
started with PostGIS, GeoServer, GDAL, uDig, QGIS and several other bits and
pieces.  Well, it worked for me...

Cheers,

Chris
