[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all!

The Tel Aviv Linux club will gather again on Sunday, 20-January-2008 to hear 
Micha Silver's presentation about Open Source GIS (Geographic Information 
System) software - the State of the Art. We will meet at 18:30 at Schreiber 
008 (Computer Science building) in Tel Aviv University. More information can 
be found here:

Reading from the Abstract:

<<<<<<<<<
The adoption of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by both governments and 
the industry has seen constant growth over the last decade. Nearly all the 
widely deployed GIS software is proprietary and closed source. Open source 
developers have risen to the challenge and FOSS (= free and open source 
software) GIS software has also expanded and matured in parallel with 
proprietary applications, especially over the last 5 years. This talk will 
present several of the more popular "FOSS4G" projects, and how they fit into 
the framework of implementing a GIS. Installation options will be covered, 
and the capabilities and limitations of some of the software will be 
demonstrated. 
>>>>>>>>>

We are looking for more presentations so if you would like to give a 
presentation, please let us know at taux at cs.tau.ac.il .

Upcoming presentations are:

* 27-January - Using the Command Line by Elizabeth Sterling
