This semester we’re also bringing back the Spatial Databases workshop (featuring Spatialite). The half-day workshop will run from 9am to 12:30pm on Friday April 8th at Lehman College. Eligibility requirements are the same, except that participants must also have prior GIS experience as this is a more advanced workshop. The registration fee is $5.

Registration is now open for the fall semester’s GIS (geographic information systems) Practicum, Introduction to GIS Using Open Source Software (featuring QGIS). The locations of the sessions will differ from previous years. The October sessions will be held at Baruch in the GIS Lab; they’ll be smaller (10 seats) and participants will need to bring a laptop. The November session will be held at the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Geospatial Sciences at Lehman College in the Bronx. This will be a larger session (20 seats) and PCs will be provided.

Feel free to circulate this info to students and faculty, but please do not post via listservs. I have fliers in my office if anyone would like some to distribute.

I had people sign up throughout the summer for early notification, so they would receive an email as soon as registration opened. A lot of people signed up. If there is excess demand (more people than seats), I may try to squeeze an additional session in somewhere.

The GIS Practicum, Introduction to GIS Using Open Source Software (QGIS), will return in spring 2015. This fall I’ll be revising the tutorial with new content based on feedback from past participants, and will update the exercises based on the new 2.0 interface that QGIS introduced this past year. This will be the first major rewrite of the content since the workshop was introduced three years ago.

Prospective participants can fill out a short form on the GIS Practicum page if they would like to be notified when registration for the workshops opens at the end of January. In all likelihood there will be one day-long session each month on a Friday in March, April, and May. Current CUNY graduate students, faculty, and staff, and Baruch undergraduates are eligible to sign-up.

This semester’s GIS (geographic information systems) Practicum, Introduction to GIS Using Open Source Software (using QGIS), will take place on the following Fridays:

• Februrary 28th
