MapServer SOS and SWE DataBlock

As part of MapServer’s support for standards-based interfaces, the SOS Server support is coming along quite well.

There Goes the Basement

basement renovationIn what will probably be my last major renovation for some time, I have started my basement renovation project this past weekend, starting with ripping things down!

FSU and FOSS4G

Fuzzy Tolerance reports that FSU is offering courses in open source GIS packages such as uDig and QGIS.

I think this is awesome, and that there is not enough on SDI and foss4g at the college/university level. Maybe there is confusion on whether this sort of thing belongs in computer science or geography programs (or both). Maybe it’s still in early stages to introduce into formal curriculum.

What I do know is that this would help students hit the ground running when they begin their career.
