ESRI Wisconsin User Group

The ESRI Wisconsin User Group, EWUG, is a Wisconsin statewide group that meets to discuss ESRI software related topics. The group was formed in 1999 to discuss technical issues, conduct seminars, share ideas and network with others. EWUG is guided solely by volunteers who believe in the merits and usage of GIS. Anyone with GIS interest can participate and there are no membership dues. The only fee associated with EWUG is annual conference registration necessary to cover the cost of the event.

TIGER/Line files — End of an Era

With the Census Bureau now directly publishing shapefiles, its likely the shapefile format will be around for a long time.
