Open Source Panel at GEOINT
In October of 2011 OpenGeo attended the GEOINT 2011 Symposium in San Antonio where, for the first time, open source received some serious attention. There were two panels on open source technologies and multiple keynote addresses highlighting the benefits of open source and the need to reduce software licensing costs. Our COO, Eddie Pickle, sat on a panel moderated by John Scott, Co-Chairman of RadiantBlue and Dr. Christopher Tucker, USGIF Board Member.
Zoom ahead to 38:00 minutes in the video below to see Eddie discuss OpenGeo's experiences developing, deploying, and supporting open source solutions. The video also offers some interesting perspectives from other panelists who discussed their experiences implementing and using open source technologies. Questions start at 58:00 minutes, enjoy.
