Calgary
Free and open source GIS software has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, including web mapping applications, spatial database software and desktop GIS. Talking to colleagues has inspired us to see if there is potential to establish an interest group in Alberta where people can learn about open source GIS software (products, licenses, legal issues etc.) and exchange their experiences using it. Hence, we are planning to hold an open meeting that should help to establish an Alberta-Calgary based interest group sometime in April/May 2010.
- When?:
- Thursday *29th April 2010*
- from 6pm; at max until 8pm
- Where?:
- Main campus of the University of Calgary, Science B Room 105
- for a map, see: http://www.ucalgary.ca/map/node/131 - and select "SB - Science B" and type "105" for the room number
- Possible Agenda:
- What is the OSGeo?
- Get to know each other.
- Define the purpose of the group.
- Pizza? Beer?
If you have suggestions or comments or anything else, please write us:
- Stefan Steiniger - ssteinig[-at-]ucalgary.ca - (Geography Dept., UofC)
