Building an Open Geo Server - Randal Hale, NRGS - PostGIS is an extension to Postgresql that allows you to store geographic Data. Geoserver is an open source server for sharing geospatial data. Using these two pieces of software (plus QGIS) we will create a very quick server application that will hold geospatial data and server it out using OGC Standards in 20 minutes or less.
