As many of you know, I used to work on a GIS software package named MapWindow.  About 5 years ago I decided to move to the job I'm in now.  Well, a year or two after I stopped working on the MapWindow project it went open source.  Since then I've been meaning to get back into development on it, but it was always such a low priority that I'd just let it slip.  

On memorial day I had a conversation with the project lead for the MapWindow team and, to make a long story short, he's hiring me to do some consulting work to help bring up the new version of MapWindow.  I'm excited to get my hands dirty and help make MapWindow 6 the best version ever!  I just feel somewhat guilty that it took pecuniary motivation to get me back into it.
