Twin City MapServer Users Group (TCMUG) Meeting.

[Bob Basques]

MapServer Users,

We're hosting the next Meeting on Tues the 18th of Oct. (next week)

We've planned out a demo at the City of Saint Paul of our latest 
incarnation of MapServer Based Web Services/Data distribution application. 

    * The application is XML/DHTML based with an emphasis on allowing
      the dataset owners free rain over their repective datasets with
      regard to updating.
    * Each layer in the interface has it's own administrator and each
      admin can edit the data as frequently or infrequently as they like.
    * Each data layer also uses it's own layer config and Map file which
      each admin has control over.  The look and feel of the layer can
      be edited by each admin with this configuration.
    * No one layer being mis-configured can bring down the whole of the
      service as a result of this type of architecture.
    * Since the datalayers are seperated and called seperately, they can
      be used for other Clients besides a Web Browser.

The plan now is to start around 5:00 PM. and go for an hour or so.  
Someone on the List suggested heading out afterwards to socialize.   We 
can pick a place now, or wait till then.

The location will be the 7th floor of the City Hall Annex. in Downtown 
Saint Paul, across 4th street from City Hall.

7th Floor (Computer Services)
25 West 4th Street, City Hall Annex.
Saint Paul, Mn. 55102

The door to the building locks automatically around 5:00 pm.  So showing 
up a little early might be best.  If you do get stuck outside, just call 
me at 612.598.9210
