My latest vicitim is Tyler Mitchell, author of Web Mapping Illustrated. We discuss Open Source GIS (obviously), the Canadian government’s role in supporting OGC and Open Source tools, and the hurdles to data access in both the US and Canada.

James Fee kindly agreed to an interview. Please excuse some of my heavy breathing in the microphone as it was too close (still learning this stuff :), but most of the audio is pretty good.
We covered a little bit of ESRI, a little bit of Google, what got James doing GIS, the upside and downside of calling something a “beta” forever, and winning and loosing technology bets. It was great fun, the technology worked well (Skype, Wiretap, and Garageband), and it beats the crap out of listening to some boring tech geek spew into a microphone all by himself (see my last podcast).
Here are links to the mp3s. I hope to have access to a shoutcast server soon and will update that link when it is available.
