Hello Cameron, In Spain there are several case studies. Valencian Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is under a project of migrating "all" systems to open-source software[1]. As a matter of fact, that was the reason to build gvSIG[2]. All geospatial infrastructure (previously with ESRI) has been moved to open source (gvSIG, PostGIS, MapServer, deegree, geoNetwork opensource).[2] Hydrographic Confederation of Guadalquivir river (Spain). A migration of a big part of ESRI components to open-source has been made, with use of gvSIG, Geonetwork opensource, MapServer, GeoServer, deegree [3] [1] http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvpontis&L=2 [2] http://www.gvsig.gva.es/index.php?id=gvsig0&L=2 [3] http://www.orzancongres.com/administracion/upload/imgPrograma/N-004.pdf Sorry [3] is in Spanish. I can provide more if you need. Regards

Hi, not sure about the time zones involved in Gary replying...I think he is referring to: http://www.epa.gov/waterscience/basins/fs-basins4.html Gary, please correct me if I am wrong ;) Regards, Andrea, aka pibinko http://pibinko.altervista.org 2008/1/29, Cameron Shorter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Yes Gary, that would be great. Do you know where we can find information about this?
