Hi Michael - As you may or may not be aware, I'm involved with the New England Chapter of URISA (Urban and Regional Information Systems Association).  The organization has been pretty quiet since the last New England GIS conferencen in 2006, but we're re-activiating.  As part of that we've launched a bunch of programming for July (with more coming in the fall), including presentations on open source web mapping.  We do to try and make our programs accessible to different parts of New England, including at least Southern ME and with that in mind, one of the open source web mapping presentations will be in Portsmouth, NH. 

We'd appreciate it very much if you coud publicize the event below in any way that makes sense as soon as possible.  Also, for full information on the New England Chapter, see our web site at www.neurisa.org.  If you have any events you want publicized, we'd be happy to put them up on our web site.  Also, note that we have launched a Google Group "list serve" and the web site includes instructions and policies around that effort.

Thanks!

Are you interested in open source web mapping solutions, but a little intimidated by the acronym soup and unsure of how to proceed?  This presentatation will introduce the software tools involved and show some of what can be achieved.  You will hear about MapServer, GDAL, OGR, PostGIs and Postgres, and other products that are being used to implement successful web mapping applications.
