CALL FOR PROPOSALS
New needs, new markets, new sources of data and new sources of revenue. Opportunity in the location-based, geospatial industry is unlimited. Unfortunately, the ability to present your ideas at Where 2.0 is not.
The deadline for Where 2.0 Call for Proposals is November 26, 2007. Submit your proposal to lead a conference session, run a tutorial, or
demonstrate the cutting-edge technology you’ve been working on.

Let us hear from you. We want to know what you’re working on. Dazzle us with that cool new mashup of personalization, cell phone, social networking, and GIS data. Share the results of your academic research. Demo your product. Launch your startup. Showcase your locative art project. Find funding, locate talent and point the way to the future.
It starts when you submit a proposal to Where 2.0.

WHAT IS WHERE 2.0?
The single most important conference that focuses on new developments
in the geo-spatial industry. For three days, Where 2.0 takes place at the intersection of longitude, latitude, the Internet, ideas, and business value. Where 2.0 gathers the best and brightest minds in the
location-based industry to pitch ideas, present new products, and
identify the trends and technologies poised to revolutionize the geo-spatial arena.

JUST ADDED – PRACTICAL TUTORIALS
Thanks to a groundswell of popular interest, we’ve devoted a day to in-depth tutorials at Where 2.0. Tutorials are half-day sessions that
last a full three hours. Designed for participants to immerse themselves
into GIS technologies, these tutorials provide attendees with the
information, skills, and tools they need to return to work equipped to succeed.

in the world. Submit a proposal to make a presentation, lead conference sessions, or deliver tutorials at the next Where 2.0.

Artigo comparando SGBDs com extensão espacial

Estreiando o Scribd no blog disponibilizo esse artigo da revista Fonte com um estudo comparando SGBDS com extensão espacial. Foram estudados o Oracle Spatial e Locator, PostgreSQL com Postgis e MySql.

O artigo é de 2005, algumas mudanças ocorreram mas o que eu mais fiquei sentindo falta foi a conclusão no artigo.
A minha conclusão é que o PostgreSQL com Postgis é a melhor escolha pra quem não possui a licença do Oracle. Mas fiquem à vontade para tirarem suas próprias conclusões.
