Hello once again from The Geocommunity. Much of the buzz in the GIS Community this month is about the
ESRI User Conference taking place in San Diego, CA. next week (June 26-30). Like many of you,
we've been busy preparing for the event. We look forward to relaying much of the news from the conference to you
and hope that we get a chance to meet a few of you. We'll be busy at Booth #342 discussing our plans for the GeoCommunity
as well as handing out the coolest T-Shirts to be had at the event (and a couple of boxes of mouse pads too!).
I'm looking forward to the event and trust that there will tons of material to relay to you from the show over the coming
weeks. Some other things we are working on include some BIG changes to our website, additional formats for the news,
and a wireless, location-based feature article being put together in conjuction with the crew of the
WirelessDevNet.
