Video – Jack Dangermond and Bernard Szukalski Discuss Open Tools & Free Software at Gov2.0 Summit

An interesting video from the Gov2.0 Summit as Esri President, Jack Dangermond and Bernard Szukalski , discusses data, the web, crowd sourcing, the mobile web, the development of geographic science, and open data. 

Can GIS data be integrated so it’s not simply a patchwork quilt? Dangermond responds… See http://gov2summit.com

Finally, near the end of the video you’ll hear Dangermond announce that as of now, Esri software is available to all NGO’s and non-profits for FREE… essentially, Esri software is now free to everyone, except to those who can afford to pay! NICE SEE details here
