NMGIC Fall 2009 Meeting

NMGIC's Fall 2009 Meeting was held Friday, November 13th, 2009 in Albuquerque, NM. The theme for the meeting was "Geospatial Stew: A Hearty Mix of Technology & Techniques". Traditionally the NMGIC fall meeting focuses on users....their projects, techniques, and lessons learned. It also was a time for conversation and visiting with colleagues and friends. This year's fall meeting continued this tradition with a potpourri of goodies.... a Geospatial Stew!
