Esri Nonprofit Organization Program - Nonprofits serving Tribal Communities
Esri Nonprofit Organization Program
ESRI is pleased to announce a new Nonprofit Organization Program which aims to make its leading GIS mapping technology available to diverse Nonprofit Organizations around the globe. This is a continuation and extension of the long legacy at Esri of supporting nonprofits to utilize GIS to support the important work that they do around the world. This program was announced by Jack Dangermond, Esri’s President and Founder at the Gov 2.0 event on Sept. 9th, 2010 (). Please note that US Federally Recognized Tribal Governments will continue to obtain software at no cost through the US Dept. of Interior however Nonprofit Organizations which serve Tribal Communities are eligible for support through this program.
This offering waives commercial fees for Esri’s software, which is offered to qualifying Nonprofit Organizations for a low annual administrative fee. For example the ArcInfo version of ArcGIS Desktop Mapping software which is commercially valued at over $36,000 (including all extensions) is offered to eligible Nonprofit Organizations for an annual $100 administrative fee. A comparable offering for ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise provides Nonprofits with a complete GIS system for the management, visualization, analysis, and dissemination of GIS information that extends from the Desktop to the web, mobile devices and the cloud. It provides organizations with the ability to share their activities with donors and the communities they serve by publishing geospatial web services and through interactive web mapping applications and dashboards, and mobile solutions. Additionally, this program provides organization-wide offerings through a series of Enterprise Licensing Packages whereby a Nonprofit Organization can obtain hundreds of desktop mapping licenses, a set of GIS servers, and technical support for a set annual fee.

ESRI ArcGIS 10 Tribal GIS Webcast Series MARCH 3, 26 2010
Last Updated on Wednesday, 03 February 2010 08:12
With the upcoming release of ArcGIS 10 we are planning a series of web casts throughout 2010 for the Tribal GIS community to highlight a few of the new capabilities in ArcGIS. Again I need to stress that there is no better place to learn about ArcGIS 10 than the ESRI International User Conference <> so please try and make it this year if you can. We again have an amazing line up of speakers and one or two remaining slots for presenters.Please let me know if for any reason you might have travel funds but are concerned about the registration fee for the conference. The ArcGIS 10 Tribal GIS Webcast Series we are developing includes topics such as: 2D / 3D Editing, Python in ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server APIs, GIS / CAD Integration, Cadastral Editor, and Image Management and Analysis.
Please let us know if there are other topics you would like to see covered.
Our web cast technology is limited to 50 participants. To manage the need for follow on events or recordings please reply to this email if you plan on attending either of these events. I'll reply with an Outlook Calendar Invite with the web cast and conference call details.
On March 3rd at 10 am (Pacific), 2D and 3D Editing in ArcGIS with John Sharrard
ArcGIS 10 brings new 2D editing workflows and entirely new 3D editing capabilities. Please join us for this presentation / discussion on:
* Layer-based editing
* Efficient feature construction
* Simple dataset creation (Packing)
* Simplified snapping environment
* Productivity improvements
* Improved attribute management
* Improved editing through web applications
* Direct editing on 3D Objects
* Also will review some future directions for 3D in GIS
On March 26th at 10:30 am (Pacific), Python in ArcGIS 10 with Jeff Barrette
ArcGIS 10 introduces the ability to automate mapping tasks through a new Python mapping module. This session will provide an overview of the arcpy.mapping module and will demonstrate how it can be used to process MXD documents, map layers, data frames, and layouts in batch. Printing and Exporting map documents and creation of PDF map books via Python will be covered, as will creation of script tools that can be used in an interactive ArcMap session. Attendees will also be introduced to the best resources and fastest ways to start writing their own mapping scripts in ArcGIS 10.
Again a quick email RSVP would be a great help as we pull these together. Thanks!

Form for BIA (GDSC or NGRC) ESRI Software License Update
Last Updated on Tuesday, 30 June 2009 02:37
Grant Timentwa posted a revised ESRI GIS User Audit Form on Friday, November 7th to the Northwest Tribal GIS User's Group with a request to disseminate it to as many people as possible. With his permission, the document is dowloadable below. His message includes this note: "..a revised ESRI GIS User Audit Form from the NGRC. They want you to have each person who uses GIS in your organization to fill one of these out before you get ArcGIS 9.3. I created input forms on the PDF file so you can type in rather than handwrite... Please disseminate to as many people as you can."
"The official word from the NGRC is to use this document and use the old order forms on the NGRC site if you want 9.3. The document isn't linked or posted on the NGRC website."
Please download and complete this form if you currently use any ESRI Software License attained from the BIA from the BIA ESRI License Agreement Program. Your license is considered to be from the BIA ESRI License Agreement Program if it was given to you by the Geographic Data Service Center (GDSC) or the National Geospatial Resource Center (NGRC). Please print and fax completed form to the NGRC at . Again, http://www.esri.com/industries/federal/bia
For additional questions, please contact NGRC at or Fax:
