I work as GIS consultant at Geo-IT. Don't you know what GIS is? GIS is a Geographic Information System and we work in the support department for local governments. Do you want to know more about GIS, take a look at Wikipedia.

GIS links

On the internet you can find lots of interesting information about GIS. Here are some of my favourites:

• Digitaal Vlaanderen : The Geospatial Service of the Flemish Government
• OpenStreetMap : A crowdsourced map of the world. A kind of Wikipedia for maps.
• QGIS : Great open-source (aka: free) GIS software. Just try it!
• OSGeo : An organisation that makes open-source GIS and mapping software (QGIS, ...).
