GeoKettle 2.0 - blogHere it is, the version 2.0 of GeoKettle is now available to download. (Link to the official press release from Spatialytics Solutions Inc.)

A major milestone

Today marks a new era for this Open Source Spatial ETL. There was the « before version 2.0 » and there will be the « after version 2.0 ». We can talk about the « before version 2.0 » in person if we have the occasion but lets talk « now version 2.0 ».

Know that GeoKettle, in addition to our efforts to develop the product itself, is a tool at the heart of all our consulting projects and custom developments since the creation of the company in August 2009. GeoKettle is an incredible tool to clarify, automate, accelerate, standardize and secure all processes requiring steps and jobs to extract, process and load alphanumeric data as well as geometric data. That’s a Spatial ETL.

Participation to the first WhereCamp Montreal (#wherecamp #wherecampmtl), Oct. 23

| October 12th, 2009 | No Comments »

I will do a “Lightning talk” on Spatialytics.org Open Source Geo-BI suite during the very first WhereCamp in Montreal, Friday, October 23rd.

The typical “BarCamp” formula applied to geospatial is generally called a “WhereCamp”. The formula is voluntarily simple, with little or no costs for the registration but with an obligation in return from each participant to present a topic in relation with “Where / Geo / Location” … being a novice or an expert, with questions and/or to present facts with the audience.

This unique activity will be held at the Redpath Museum of McGill University.
