WEBINAR
IGIC Members: FREE
Nonmembers: $20
ArcGIS Server Enterprise can be a big investment. Are you worried about getting the most out of yours? Or are you considering upgrading from standard edition? Join us for an online webinar to see how one Indiana county is creating tools and shortcuts in ArcGIS Server to streamline and enhance their services. Dave Estes and Chris Tallman, of Allen County GIS will be sharing tips, tricks and code they've developed demonstrating applications with customized viewers, simple editing tasks and embedded map services.

You are invited to attend IGIC's FIRST Regional Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 from 6 pm—9 pm at the University Plaza Hotel in West Lafayette, IN.
This will be great opportunity to network and catch up on the latest GIS events in a casual atmosphere. The evening will start with a cash bar from 6 pm - 7 pm, followed by dinner and a presentation from guest speakers Larry Biehl and Jie Shan of Purdue University.
This meeting is open to all IGIC members, their guests and anyone who wants to know more about IGIC, Indiana GIS and Remote Sensing.
Guest Speaker Presentation: Remote Sensing Activities at Purdue University
Presented by: Mr. Larry Biehl and Dr. Jie Shan
Mr. Biehl and Dr. Jie Shan will give and overview of remote sensing activities, flood mapping, and an update of the IndianaView and AmericaView consortium activities at Purdue University.
Mr. Biehl is the Systems Manager for the Purdue Terrestrial Observatory (PTO). His responsibilities include managing the antenna, computers and image data for the PTO. He has also been involved in helping initiate the IndianaView consortium and the development of the IndianaView (http://www.indianaview.org/) data archive server. Previously Mr. Biehl was a research engineer with Purdue University's Laboratory for Application of Remote Sensing (LARS) from 1974 to 2004.
Dr. Shan is an associate professor in geomatics engineering in the School of Civil Engineering of Purdue University, where he teaches remote sensing and geospatial information science and technology. His research interests are digital mapping, geospatial data mining, and urban modeling. Prof. Shan received his PhD in photogrammetry and remote sensing from Wuhan University, China. Previously Dr. Shan held faculty positions at universities in China, Sweden, and the United States, and has been a research fellow in Germany.

WEBINAR
IGIC Members: FREE
Nonmembers: $20
When you are thinking about developing a web mapping application today, the first thing that comes to mind is what platform and technology should it be developed upon . There are a plethora of technologies that exist from free platforms such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Mapquest (which have standard maps with limited capability to load user defined content) to the robust ArcGIS Server technology (which is highly customizable with a wide variety of community shared data and custom content that can be loaded into your own server). There are various factors that determine what technology is appropriate for your needs and this presentation will explore the different platforms with an elaboration on the new ArcGIS Server APIs (Flex, JavaScript, and Silverlight).

The University of Notre Dame’s Center for Research Computing (CRC) will host a half-day GIS Day workshop on Friday, November 20 from 1-5p.m. in room 107 of the Hesburgh Library, the auditorium.
Our goal is to build a community of interest around an already active group of researchers working with geospatial information. The keynote speaker for the conference is Mr. Paul Collins (CEO, Skyline Software Systems, Virginia, and ND alumnus). Guest Speakers include: Paul Harwig (President, Fugro Horizons, SD), and Phil Worrall (Executive Director,Indiana Geographic Information Council).
We have additional speakers lined up from private, local government and federal government sectors. We would like to encourage speakers from the academic sector as well. We have slots still available for those who wish to present a 15-20 minute talk (1-5pm) or a poster during our poster session (5-6pm). If you are interested in presenting, please email the title of your presentation on or before October 20, 2009 to Dr. Dilkushi Pitts at: Dilkushi.Pitts.12@nd.edu
Registration is FREE. More details, directions and online registration is available by clicking on the GIS Day logo below.

Our 2009 GIS Day is shaping up to be a great event! The list of participants is growing. http://gisday.indiana.edu/schedule.html. GIS Day is a global event for users of Geographic Information Systems technology in an effort to educate people about how geography makes a difference in our lives and to demonstrate this technology to schools and organizations around the world.
The Earth As Art Contest webpage is now updated and a new 2009 Earth As Art Flyer. The contest is open to the general public , all ages, and even GIS Day committee members http://gisday.indiana.edu/poster.html. The updated web page has YouTube links to 2 videos written by the City of Austin, Texas, staff for the 2007 and 2008 GIS Days. Perhaps these will inspire contest participants. If you have not seen them, I encourage you to take a break and watch them – so creative and funny.
