PRESENTATION:
Cliff Patterson, CEO of Luna Geospatial will present an end-to-end look at an open-source geospatial solution.
ABSTRACT:
Open source technologies have transformed the way organizations build, manage, and share geospatial data. This talk demonstrates how four powerful tools can be integrated into a complete enterprise GIS solution—without the costs and restrictions of proprietary platforms.
We will begin with QGIS, a user-friendly desktop GIS that empowers teams to edit, analyze, and visualize data. From there, we explore PostGIS, the spatial extension to PostgreSQL, which provides the enterprise-grade database backbone needed for multi-user editing, versioning, and secure data management. Next, we highlight GeoServer, a robust standards-compliant server that enables the publication of vector and raster data as interoperable web services (WMS, WFS, WCS). Finally, we showcase LunaMap, a modern web GIS platform that delivers these services directly to the browser, offering interactive mapping for teams, stakeholders, and the public.
Through practical workflows and real-world examples, attendees will learn how to design an integrated stack that supports collaboration, transparency, and scalability. Whether you are a local government, a consultancy, or an educational institution, this session will provide the blueprint to adopt open source GIS confidently and effectively.
