Hi Franck! I think your e-primer gives a good introduction into the world of FOSS4G - thank you! If you're searching for a very comprehensive overview of GIS-related open source projects, have a look at freegis.org [1].
Currently there are 376 listed projects: * category software: 325 * cat. Geo-Data: 23 * cat. Documents: 19 * and 9 other projects.
