Our final hour is for the presentation, which will be by Owen Hartnett. Here's the description: GIS on the cheap There are two ways to do mapping, commercially and open source. Commercial mapping software will cost you a minimum of $1500/year, plus other licensing fees for your clients. Open source will cost everybody $0. Is Open source mapping yet good enough for prime time? Owen Hartnett will discuss a number of open source mapping mechanisms including PostGIS, QGIS, MapServer, OpenLayers, OpenJump and maybe even others, and all running on a Macintosh. If you ever needed to create custom maps for any reason, or think that you might someday, you'll want to check out this meeting. ************************ You can get a map showing building E51 at The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month.
