QGIS in ITBusiness interview

Hey folks.

OGUG is Ottawa's GRASS Users Group. Recently Dave Sampson and Scott Mitchell were interviewed by Shane Schick from ITBusiness, an online magazine published by Computing Canada. The articles discusses GRASS / QGIS, open source GIS and the interaction of local users groups. OGUG will soon have the link to the article on their site. We would also be interested in news articles of other GRASS users groups. In the mean time please follow the link bellow and feel free to add it to the main GRASS site.

Although some details are probably lost in the editorial process (like the requirement of UMN mapserver for publishing GRASS maps to the net) for the general public or those unfamiliar with GRASS its good first intro. We'll wait to see how many people contact us concerning GRASS and such.
