Open Source Developer’s Conference 2006, Melbourne, Australia

OSDC 2006 starts tomorrow in Melbourne with a keynote from Randal Schwarts. Today I attended the pre-conference tutes which included a most usefull session by Jonathan Oxer. The talk titled "Large Scale Webapps: DevTeam Infrastructure" gave a run down on how software development process at his company is automated and streamlined. The automation process includes documentation, automated migration from development to testing, to packaging and releasing. You can find a more detail here. Earlier today I gave a tute on GIS Python Hacks based roughly around the workshop by the same name from Howard Butler and Shean Gillies at OSGIS'05. I'll put my slides online by tomorrow. The topics covered GDAL/OGR, GEOS and WFS with hands on snippets of code. We also did some promotion for the newly formed Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

About GeoLabs
GeoLabs is the Spatial team at Nomad Labs. We love all things spatial and particularly like the idea of spatial analysis on the geoweb. We also tend to use a lot of open source GIS in our work. Yey! to the open source. Other than that we love dynamic languages, open RESTful API's and beautiful code and thoughtfully designed software. All things that we try to adhere to in our work.
