The first MapServer User Meeting was held June 6-7, 2003 at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul Campus. The meeting was a success. Two big reasons for that success were the enthusiasm participants brought to the meeting and the quality of the presentations made. To allow others to catch some of that enthusiasm and benefit from the quality presentations, a number of the presentations are reproduced below.
We have some photographs available, but we'd like more.
Most everyone who was at the meeting appears on the attendance list, though some preferred to be left off.
More materials will be added as they become available. If you have something you'd like to share with others at this site, please send it to tburk@umn.edu.
