DESCRIPTION:At Ordnance Survey we create a lot of varied geographic data us
 ing many different tools. For a project on automatically generating lines 
 representing the high and low tides we compared the relative effectiveness
  of one open source tool\, GDAL\, against a couple of non-open source ones
 . Apparently\, GDAL is pretty good! (with some fixable caveats).\n\nIn thi
 s lightening talk I'll be demonstrating the use case for GDAL in the admit
 tedly narrow context of generating tide lines\, comparing some outputs wit
 h paid-for solutions\, and generally considering the strengths of open sou
 rce tools.
