As I posted earlier I gave a presentation of Depiction to the Northwest GIS Users Group Meeting gratiously hosted by Stefan Freelan at Western Washington University and the great folks at Skagit County GIS.  It was really nice to catch up with a lot of faces that I have not seen lately and learn about the interesting projects that everyone is involved in.  Skagit County did the first two presentations; Dr. Josh Greenberg presenting their work on mapping riparian landcover in agricultural areas, and kari Seacrest and Sean Larson discussing the use of GIS on the Norhtwest Incident Management Team.  Following these talks was no easy task but Kari and Sean really set the stage for Emergency Management mapping software.  The response to Depiction was great.  Everyone liked the look and feel, functionality, and ease of use.  Of course the low cost was a hot topic.  It took me nearly five minutes to convince everyone that yes it was only $89.  I also received great feedback and suggestions for additional features and enhancements that people would love to see in future versions.  Overall it was a very rewarding experience.  I look forward to continuing to work with the GIS user community in Northwest Washington.
