Although I have only been actively following it for the last few months, geospatial blogging has really taken off in the last year or so. I figure better late than never; hope I’m welcome at the party.
I plan to use this space to talk about my geospatial interests. These are always changing, but they currently include:
- Open Source GIS
- Google Earth, specifically dynamic data like I’m providing at the City of Nanaimo
- MapGuide Open Source
- Safe Software’s FME spatial etl tool
- GIS for local government
- Public data provision
More to come later…
