Slashgeo

Launched in 2005, Slashgeo.org is expanding awareness and becoming a focal point for the exchange of geospatial news, information, knowledge and experience. Slashgeo is a bridge across space and time to gather the community of the geospatially interested. It attracts thousands of readers on a daily basis. Why use Slashgeo? One of the reasons is because it aggregates for you the most pertinent geospatial news from over 50 sources of geospatial content.

Slashgeo wants to be the best user-friendly and user-driven online resource for news and discussions about GIS, Remote Sensing, Location-Based Services and everything geospatial.

Slashgeo is open. Free to read. Free for anyone to share thoughts and ideas. Its content comes from the users, you. Slashgeo is slash-based, meaning the content is filtered by members so only the most valuable tidbits reach the casual reader.

Slashgeo is a dream come true. It is managed by Spatial Enlightenment, an independent non-profit organization. It is mostly voluntary work. Historically, Slashgeo is the sibling of Applied-GIS-RS, a non-technical international mailing list, that was created in summer 2002 that has over a thousand members. In December 2005, three months after its launch, Slashgeo.org came to replace SlashGISRS.org, our former name.

Hope you benefit from our efforts and participate in making Slashgeo an efficient tool.
