    Last night I had an uncontrollable urge to make geopoprocessing in QGIS better, faster and more fun!

They use QGIS to present some basic GIS concepts and skills, and I particularly like their section on Coordinate Reference Systems.

    Secondly, don’t forget to checkout the FOSS4G 2009 Free and open source software for geospatial conference in Sydney in October. There will be loads ...
