[TCMUG] FW: New and Noteworthy in OS Geospatial?

[Fawcett, David (MPCA)]

I sent this message to the osgeo discuss list and got a few responses.  

I already have enough content to fill a presentation, but I would like to tell the rest of the MN GIS community about what is really new or cool in OpenSource Geospatial.  

What new (or existing) projects, apps, data, case studies, etc. do you think are cool?  Your input is definitely appreciated.

David.

I am willing to include a food or beverage bounty for the best suggestion...

Subject: New and Noteworthy in OS Geospatial?

I am working on a presentation focused on, "What's New and Cool in OpenSource Geospatial" for a group of GIS professionals.  This group is most familiar with the proprietary ESRI stack, but there is a growing awareness and interest in OpenSource.  

My goal is to introduce people to cool projects or features, highlighting events and improvements from the past year.  I am thinking of categories including software, databases, community, and open data.

I would greatly appreciate any ideas that people have on new or noteworthy developments in OpenSource geospatial.  Think about new projects, new features, optimizations, events, use cases, etc.

Please feel free to email me off-list or just respond to this message.

Thank you very much,

David Fawcett
