I’m glad to say that RésEau has been featured as the OGC Website of the Month, as well as featured as an article in Geospatial Solutions. I’m proud to have worked on this project with such talented people from many disciplines. It was also fun to get to do alot of tinkering into new and innovative approaches to the dissemination of geospatial info, such as GeoRSS and SensorWeb. Kudos to all involved!

Check out this nice writeup by Kevin Flanders. I think Kevin points out some of the numerous contributions by Canadians in geospatial open source. I also think it’s fitting seeing that we’re around the corner from Canada Day 🙂 Furthermore, this article represents how partnerships between industry and government can lead to development of Canadian expertise, as well as business opportunities as a result.

GDAL 1.3.2 has been released. I especially like the MySQL and Idrisi support. Kudos to the development team!

Check out Howard’s wicked article on the Katrina GIS project on Directions Magazine

I started helping out this cause to help provide access to Hurricane Katrina geospatial information. Howard Butler has provided a nice description of the project

I’m going here for a conference on Open Source Geospatial and MapServer Users Meeting.

Finally! I successfully defended my masters thesis on 07 February 2005 at Carleton U. Let the party begin!
