Bringing FOS GIS to Indian Country

How To Introduce FOS GIS

Show GIS By Example

  • Choose one small project to showcase your project.

  • It's difficult to show the usefulness of FOS GIS through words; let your project speak for itself

Good Luck!

Duplicate Services

Find Supporters

  • Make the same services between Esri & Open Source to test the speed, functionality, & overall customer approval.

  • Test out a different database, GIS server, or desktop GIS
  • Find a few cheerleaders who can vouch for your FOS GIS idea or project

  • Let them share your idea, project, or app through word of mouth

Workflow/Application Duplication

WLIA Annual Conference

Green Bay, WI

Feb. 20th, 2015

Bad River Webmaps

ArcGIS Online

GeoMoose App

http://badriver.sharedgeo.net/apps/geomoose/

  • App is not completely configurable
  • Can't group layer list
  • URL is not specific to the Tribe
  • Need to use AGO GUI to add, rename, remove, and edit URL
  • Not subject to Esri version updates
  • Runs faster & smoother than AGO
  • Simpler to install & configure than ArcGIS for Portal
  • Serves as a "file management" system

You can't have growth without a little pain!

Consider climbing the mountain of Data Management & Display with FOS GIS tools

Market Power

  • Competition is good.

  • By expanding our software options that show the same functionality, our business can offer options in addition to existing proprietary vendors

License Liability

Flexibility

Options are available for desktop GIS, GPS, remote sensing, databases, GIS web servers, and entire webmapping packages.

Databases

Desktop GIS

  • “Free” licenses don’t necessarily mean free to tax payers. All licenses should be accounted for.

  • Open Source GIS tools provide staff freedom to do training on their own time without the need for additional licenses.

GRASS GIS 1st introduced in 1978...still a large community of developers

  • 410 free software, data, documents, & projects (FreeGIS.org as of 2/2015).

Why Incorporate Free & Open Source GIS Software?

Staff Development

Cloud Readiness

  • Collaboration inspires creativity

  • Money that went into software, can be funneled into staff training

  • Cooperation can replace competition

  • GIS Servers, browser-based mapping are in the cloud

  • Available to publish securely and offers scalable solutions (potential for future growth)

FOS GIS comes with risks too

Possible Drawbacks

  • More training may be needed
  • Less standardized documentation
  • Too many options to consider
  • Need to keep source code open

Why Do Tribes Manage GIS that Way?

3 Words: Enterprise License Agreement

Office of Trust Services Geospatial Support (OTSGS) provides "software, training, and system support for management of natural resources on Indian lands such as irrigation flood plain analysis, forest harvesting, wildland fire analysis, oil and gas management, and other economic analyses."

How is GIS Used & Managed?

  • Collect, & map natural, economic, civil, & cultural resources.
  • Most-->ESRI ArcGIS (desktop)
  • Some-->Arc Server & manage enterprise systems.

  • Bad River Tribe: 10 GIS users; 1 GIS administrator; 1 IT director managing the enterprise gdb used to publish GIS data; 2 webmapping application using ArcGIS Online (public).

What GIS Data Are Managed?

  • Natural Resources
  • Utilities & Roads
  • Land Ownership
  • Cultural & Historic

Open Source = software where source code is available to everyone anyone to study, use, modify, & redistribute while complying with GPL

Free ≠ Open Source

Open source developers can charge for their products.

Google Earth is freely available for download and use, however, its source code is not. It's open source.

Asset Management = "any system that monitors and maintains things of value to an entity or group... a systematic process of deploying, operating, maintaining, upgrading, and disposing of assets cost-effectively." (Wikipedia)

  • Utilities & Land Management
  • Community/Business Development
  • Urban/Regional Planning
