With no warning from either side comes the bizarre news that Autodesk, specifically the infrastrucure/BIM part is hooking up with Pitney Bowes "to help infrastructure owners and architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) organizations make more informed decisions and drive greater efficiencies across the plan, design, build, manage lifecycle of infrastructure."

Digging out some historical goodies that were at my parents house...
The Desktop Mapping Guidebook The 1991 publication is by Strategic Mapping and the intro letter is signed by Steve Poizner. Price: $4.95. I'm thinking I got that when the SMI rep came to visit my firm back in the day. We did not go with AtlasGIS, but I remember it being very impressive.
Cadence Magazine, 1995. It seems I ghost wrote a letter to the editor for my product manager correcting some errors in an article about ArcCAD. I spelled shapefiles as two words. I wonder if it was two words back then? I later went on to write several articles for Cadence.
Microstation Manager, The Monthly Independent Publication for the Intergraph Professional, June 1992. The one with Bentley brothers in a picture from childhood on the cover. Did I get that when I went to interview at Bentley? While I was at Esri? I don't recall.
ArcCAD mousepad. Esri U.S. regional offices and their phone numbers are listed. There were 10 listed, plus Redlands.

July saw more than its share of acquisitions in the geospatial domain. Among the players involved were large companies with household names like Nokia and Facebook, and smaller ones only known in tighter circles, including NextStop and Photo Science. Our editors review the deals and offer predictions on their success.

How much does a domain expert, such as a forester, need to know about GIS software and programming to communicate with a software develop who will build a useable app? How do those experts who use GIS in planning, medical care, and agriculture learn to communicate with programmers? And, how do programmers, especially those new to GIS, learn about its quirks? Our editors explore go-betweens who help interpret and how changes in technology may be making communications easier.

How do you benefit from giving technology away? This week we look at a trend - all sorts of things (data, technology and Web services) are being offered for free across the technology landscape. It’s happening in geospatial too. So, here’s today’s question: How will companies’ free offerings compete with one another?
