I had the pleasure of meeting several members of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation while attending a recent conference. In addition to acting as advocates for open source mapping solutions, they manage a rather fascinating array of open source projects, among them MapServer, OpenLayers, and GRASS.
Earlier this week Executive Director Tyler Mitchell wrote to tell me about the forthcoming Free and Open Source for Geospatial conference, otherwise known as FOSS4G2007. If you’re interested in learning more about open source mapping solutions and services, this is the place to be!
