[Mapserver-west] Open Source GIS

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi Dean,
I have some presentations too, but can't access them until next week.  I also have an article that may be published re: open source software in general, in the next couple weeks.  Then I will build on it to discuss open source GIS in particular.
