This Week’s Hangout with Steve Coast::Open is the New Winning

This week’s hangout is a day early and a special time. We go live at 1:15pm today (Tuesday) because I’ll be traveling to keynote the South Florida GIS Expo tomorrow. We’ll be talking about OpenStreetMap, why the licensing is difficult to get right, and how the OSM project has major momentum now that it’s part of Apple, Microsoft, MapQuest, Foursquare and MapBox.

Remember, this episode goes live at a special time: 1:15 pm Pacific Time, Tuesday, Oct. 9th. Point your IRC client to #hwjf on chat.freenode.net or use the web client on the video page.

OpenGeo Suite 3.0 is Out

Did you see? OpenGeo Suite 3.0 is now available for downloading. The big news (well besides PostGIS 2.0) is Server Side Processing. What does that mean? Well it means WFS 2.0, big improvements to WPS, server side python and javascript scripting among many more. OpenGeo Suite is still the choice for many to get GeoServer, PostGIS and other open source tools installed with minimal fuss.

Mind BlownMind Blown

Is there nothing OpenGeo Suite can’t do?

This Week’s Hangout with URISA::Live from GIS-Pro 2012

This week’s hangout broadcasts live from URISAs 50th GIS-Pro conference in Portland, Oregon. James Fee, Madeline and Amy Esnard, President of Oregon URISA, will chat about conference highlights, including novel GIS applications, GIS service projects, and the role of URISA in today’s world. In the second half of the show, we’ll also be joined by URISA president Greg Babinski. I’m looking forward to discussing URISA and how it has changed in the last 50 years.

Have a topic you want discussed? Add it here before the show.
