I know I am opening Up some obvious jokes by stating this post this way but....
Open OS X announced the following http://www.openosx.com/grass/index.html GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a Geographical Information System (GIS) with raster, topological vector, image processing, and graphics production functionality that operates on various platforms through a graphical user interface and command line. A state-of-the-art NVIZ 3-D visualization program is also included. Grass is the open source alternative to ArcView bundled with their spatial analysis module. A similar configuration can easily cost more than US $20,000. There are now more then 350 geo-spatial modules. The SQL Database is PostgreSQL and it supports unixODBC. Phil announced that they are looking to support unixODBC on Mac OS X. I have a friend who frequently works with local Governments doing GIS stuff. The combination of this and Witango has given him some ideas. Mac OS X is opening up a whole new world of possibilities. If Witango 5 supports Applescript this could be very useful!!
