[Southeast-US] Open source options part of GIS Day

[Henley, Amanda Clarke]

I agree.  That's why tomorrow at our GIS Day event, our speaker will talk about how communities can produce and own their own data.  This event is open to anyone.  

We are actively teaching open source data and software.  We recently held a Mapathon where ~20 people contributed to OpenStreetMap.

We've also had three workshops on open source software this semester.

I'm guessing this has been previously discussed, but JIC, here's yet another item for the todo list:

We should try to present open-GIS alternatives @ GIS Day[1] events. Esp academic ones like this[2].

apologies if this has been previously discussed-to-death, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche at pobox.com>
