Educational Session

Come hear about the rationale for web mashups! We've arranged for 3 speakers to discuss the relevance of publicly available web mapping services like Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, and Microsoft Virtual Earth to GIS.

Our speakers will include:

• John Huie, GIS Coordinator for Contra Costa County, who will provide perspective on why local governments may wish to look at Google Maps for disseminating information.
• Jeff Fiore, Engineer for Telcontar, who will introduce the underlying technology of massively scaleable web mapping platforms.
• Alexei Peters, Senior Web Developer at Farallon, who will share the system design and implementation details of an environmental data monitoring mashup.
