Yesterday, I gave an introduction to open source GIS at MAC URISA. As the meeting was about Internet-enabled GIS, I focused on server-side software. I’ve made the presentation available on SlideShare and available as a download from my website.

Here’s a listing of the programs and standards I reference in the presentation:

• Open Source Initiative
• Open Source Geospatial Foundation
• The Cathedral and the Bazaar
• MapServer
• GeoServer
  • “OpenGeo Architecture” Whitepaper
• TileCache
• OpenLayers
• Web Map Service
• Web Feature Service
• KML

Here’s the sites I referenced as examples using open source GIS:

• NYCityMap
• The White House’s Delivering on Change
• New Jersey State Atlas
• NJGIN’s Information Warehouse
• NuMaps’ DemographicDrapes
• OpenStreetMap
• GeoNames
• GeoCommons’ Finder! and Maker!
