Anyone want to do a MapServer demo???

[Fischer, Brian]

Steve - That is a great idea and is one of the goals we talked about in
a previous meeting for the group.

Nancy had also contacted me to give a demo on open source GIS, but I can
not attend the forum that day.  I did tell her that there have been a
few posts to the TCMUG mailing list about putting together a demo.
Maybe it could be expanded a bit to talk about more than MapServer?  It
would also promote the TCMUG group.
