A rare live blog post today. I'm writing this from Triangle Open Data Day 2014. This will basically be a page of links that I'll try to get around to later.
GIS resources:
- QGIS – an open source GIS app! Download it here: http://www.qgis.org/ I can't wait to play around with this.
- PostGIS – Geospatial data in an open source RDBMS! http://postgis.net/ I've done a bit of work in PostgreSQL. A deep dive into OpenStreetMap is on my to-do list. PostGIS is another powerful incentive.
