      Matthew Doggett from the Oregon State University College 
      of Oceanography of Atmospheric Sciences has been working 
      with Open Source GIS (Geographic Information Systems) packages
      for quite some time.  In particular, he has been working 
      with Map Server which is an OpenSource development 
      environment for constructing spatially enabled Internet-web 
      applications.  It was originally developed by the University 
      of Minnesota, although it is currently quite popular and 
      large development community today.  And of course, it runs 
      in a Linux/Apache environment,
