ESRI Polls Calendar
The ESRI User Conference is coming fast. Very Spatial will cover the event with their great podcasts. They're also celebrating their first year, congratulations! (I personaly listen to every episode and even like their music selection :-) Meanwhile, Spatially Adjusted details the split up of ArcGIS in 3 versions. Slashgeo now has a new poll on the User Conference. The previous poll related to this story tells us 80% visit slashgeo for the news it aggregates and the RSS feed, while the remaining 20% come mainly for its potential future or the user comments. I also updated the slashboxes to show PlanetGS RSS feed on Slashgeo's main page.

Technology: ArcGIS Server Clients Looking at Open Source Solutions? [+]
Spatially Adjusted blogs about open source solutions beginning to be serious competition to ArcGIS Server. From the entry: "When asked why they felt this way, they all said it was because they have invested so much in their web clients that they no longer needed to be tied to ESRI Server products and their added cost. [...] As one person said to me, “ArcIMS really hasn’t changed in the past 3 years, so why should I pay maintenance on such a product? I’m sure the new wizard based map creation back end will be helpful to some, but it doesn’t add anything to my development work flows.”"
