Dear OSGeo Discuss List:<div><br></div><div>The MapWindow project team is pleased to announce that we are hosting an "OSGeo DotNet" focused conference and workshops June 13-15, 2011 in San Diego, California. There is more information and a call for abstracts on the conference web site: </div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2011/presenters.php">http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2011/presenters.php</a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.mapwindow.org/conference/2011/presenters.php"></a>The call for abstracts closes on March 31, so please let me know soon if you are interested in participating. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We know that a large portion of our OSGeo community is more comfortable in Linux than in Windows, but there continues to be a growing interest in and demand for programmer tools based on the DotNet environment - and those of us on the OSGeo DotNet side of things don't think that the proprietary vendors should control that market. :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So this event will be centered on the MapWindow project, the new DotSpatial programmer library (think open source ArcObjects) and several other very cool software tools (SharpMap, Whitebox, and others). </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are at all interested in learning more about these projects please consider coming to this event. </div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Dan<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Daniel P. Ames, Ph.D. PE<br>
