As part of the organizing commitee for the international FOSS4G-2011 conference, we will welcome some 1000 technologists to Denver to inform and instruct all things geospatial open source. In addition, we will be conducting a standalone day-long event specifically for managers, entrepreneurs intrigued but unfamiliar with the space. Details here.
Projects We've Deployed
MapServer The bullet-proof map rendering software that has been around for years and "just works". Whether streaming WMS services to a variety of interfaces or automating PDF-based map production, it has never let us down.
PostGIS The geospatial extension to the PostgreSQL database. Enterprise-caliber horsepower that enables geospatial analysis over the web without server middleware.
GDAL/OGR The raster/vector code libraries 'under the hood' in so many GIS packages. We created a .NET application based on this project to stream custom KML dynamically from enterprise ArcSDE and Oracle databases.
How We Give Back
In our work we've had code improvements contributed back into the GDAL and MapServer projects. Just as important, we periodically conduct open source workshops and presentations in Colorado as co-founders of the Front Range Users of Geospatial Open Source (FRUGOS). Spreading the word and showing real-world applications go a long way towards educating folks as to how open source fits into geospatial workflows.
