Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 15:55 Just a quick update on some of the GI related links that have popped up in the last few weeks. These vary with a broad set of topics from planned changes to the PSMA, copies of the presentations from the Share to save LPS event, to the full report on the Value of Geospatial Information from the LGA.
Monday, June 28, 2010 at 17:01 Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at our Local Public Services Event event "Share to Save: How GI can equip the public sector to do more with less". We have had a great response and are now fully booked with delegates from a range of professions and industries, so the conversation should be interesting to say the least.
To those of you who can't make it in person, follow us on our Twitter account (@AGILPSSIG) or just use the event hashtag of #sharetosave to stay up-to-date with what is happening and to join in the conversation. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Presentations and findings of the event will be published on our blog and LPS SIG web pages.
Talk soon
Hendrik Grothuis
Chair, LPS SIG
Wednesday, June 2, 2010 at 16:48 And a hello from me. My name is Hendrik Grothuis and I am the chair of the newly formed Local Public Services Special Interest Group (LPS SIG). This SIG was set up in early 2010 to bring all local public service GI under one umbrella group and it is here to represent the interests of GI professionals working in local government, Health and Emergency Planning. In fact, it represents everyone working with geospatial information in public services of all shapes and sizes. There is no ‘one fit’ anymore and as government restructures and rebrands, we must evolve with the needs and demands that this puts upon us. This is where this group can assist: in helping each other share knowledge and develop solutions for best practice in the utilisation of GI and raising awareness of the potential of GI in tackling so many of the issues that the public services encounter.
