Hello Members,
In the spirit of sharing and keeping the blog alive, I've come across a couple of interesting articles about E-Gov Services that you might find interesting.
Because I can't attach them here, if you're intrested send me a quick e-mail and I'll forward them to you.
Hope you're all enjoying the summer.
Cheers,
Stefan

ESRI User Conference Experience
Sitting at the ESRI User Conference on monday the presentation on ArcGIS 9.4 was truely amazing. Jack Dangermond and the ESRI Inc staff did an excellent job of impressing my and exceeding my expectations the moment I entered the session. Imagine 10,000 delegates in one room!!
The functionality that they are beginning to make possible in this next version will enable a transition for GIS from desktop editing to web enabled editing. There were so many principles that will make this next version one to leverage for government business and citizen engagement.
There are so many presentations that really amazed me and will drive the way forward for the City of Airdrie such as strategic planning for GIS, Automatic addressing updates, and demonstrating ROI for GIS. From technical and paper presentations, this conference is one that I feel has provided me the most value to date and I highly recommend attending. The great thing to consider is that the sessions are structured for the lay person all the way up to the hardcore programmers. Everyone is open to discuss their experiences and learn from each other.
The scale of this event is one that is difficult to explain without you actually being here!
I hope to bring a couple of the presentations that I feel will be of most value to the CRP meeting in September.
Cheers from San Diego!

GISVM - Free Open-Source GIS Server
Hi everyone;
This was just posted on the Applied GIS/RS listserve - it looks like it could be a great option for those of you looking for a fully functional, cost efficient (like FREE) GIS server:
http://www.gisvm.com/index.html
There's lots of interesting info on the blog section of the GISVM site.
I'd be keen to hear anyone's thoughts on this option:

I'd be keen to hear anyone's thoughts on this option:
- Is this something you would consider for your organization? Why or why not?
- Does the open-source-ness of this software make it more or less attractive?
- Have you heard anything about this software prior to this post?
