Jody Garnett


Geospatial Software Architect, LISAsoft

Brisbane, Australia

Jody is an enthusiastic supporter of Open Source Spatial: "GIS represents one of the last great frontiers (along with Business Intelligence) where the data volume lets everyone work on real computer science. It is a great field, that thrives using public data to make things interesting for the open source developer."
