Hit the Ground Running with Open Source GIS


Presentation Outline: 

Get a feel for the open source geospatial landscape with a brief overview of the major players and software. Then learn about training, support, and customization services used by the US federal government as well as companies in industries such as large-scale agriculture and petroleum. Finally, dig into QGIS with an example workflow showing off standard GIS functionality as well as a few features that make QGIS special.


About the Speaker:


Erik Friesen:

Erik is a Training Specialist with Boundless (soon to be Planet Federal). He has worked with GIS and remote sensing technology for the past 13 years. Prior to joining Boundless, he spent 8 years as the sole GIS Technician/Analyst at a small oil and gas company.
