A Public Welcome!

Hello, and Welcome to the Regional GIS Blog!

This blog is maintained as part of the Calgary Regional Partnership's Regional GIS Initiative. The majority of contributors to this blog are Technical GIS Professionals at member Municipalities of the CRP, and the majority of the posts relate to the kinds of issues these people face in their daily work, and in building effective collaborations across jurisdictional boundaries.

The CRP RGIS Blog has been active for a few years now, but until today it was closed to public viewing. On reflection, we realized that this approach was more than a little incongruous. This blog is about improving communication and collaboration, and many posts celebrate the burgeoning open data movement - so why would we restrict access to the blog only to contributors, when there almost certainly is value in sharing this information more broadly?

Take a look around - browse past posts, and leave a comment if you see something interesting and would like to contribute to the discussion.

Thanks!
greg, on behalf of the CRP RGIS Technical Committee.
