Talks (updated)
This page will eventually have links to all the talks that I’ve given recently. I’ve licensed them all (like the rest of the blog) under Creative Commons, which is a bit of an experiment but I’m keen to see whether they do get re-used. If you do find them useful, drop me a line.

Hello Jo,
As a fellow archaeologist, I’m really glad to see that someone in the British archaeological establishment (commercial or otherwise), like OA, are supporting FOSS GIS. I’ve aready been in touch with one of your colleagues about gvSIG since I’m planning to use it on a project I’m involved with in the Sahara, but I’d like to know, how has gvSIG been received by your overall work force since you previously used ESRI products? Are people happy with it on a day to day level? If you use QGIS as well, when do you feel that that’s necessary?
My ‘day job’ is with the Welsh Royal Commission and they are tied to ESRI, so I haven’t had much contact with people or organisations that have used FOSS GIS, so I welcome your opinions.
All the best,
Sal
